Mrs Pargeter’s Package
by Simon Brett

Meet Mrs Melita Pargeter, a vivacious widow with a talent for solving mysteries.

Melita jets off on holiday to the sleepy Greek island of Corfu. Her newly widowed friend Joyce Burton has arranged it all. In one handy package tour.

Two weeks of sun, sea and sand should be just what they need. But Joyce is acting strangely. On edge.

On their very first morning in Corfu, Joyce turns up dead in her bed. Her wrists slashed with a broken bottle of ouzo.

Everyone says she took her own life. But Melita knows there are fishy dealings afoot — and it’s up to her to uncover the truth.

Fans of Agatha Christie, Nita Prose, M.C. Beaton, The Thursday Murder Club, Faith Martin, Julia Chapman, T.E. Kinsey, Jeanne M. Dams, Janice Hallett and Jane Adams will be hooked from the very first page!

Genre: Historical Crime & Mystery
