Meet Mrs Melita Pargeter, a vivacious widow whose mystery-solving talents come in handy when a murderer stalks a hotel for well-to-do retirees. The victim is old Mrs Selsby, timid occupant of the hotel’s most coveted sea-front room. Everyone says her death was a tragic accident, but Mrs Pargeter’s not so sure . . .
MRS, PRESUMED DEAD
Mrs Pargeter moves to a lovely new home in leafy Surrey, where her neighbours are well-to-do young couples. But then her boiler breaks down, and she tries to get in touch with the former owners, Mr and Mrs Cotton. It turns out they have vanished without trace. Mrs Pargeter soon discovers that the nice Mrs Cotton was mixed up with some very shady characters. Mrs Pargeter’s determined to piece together the mystery . . .
MRS PARGETER’S PACKAGE
Mrs Pargeter jets off on holiday to the sleepy Greek island of Corfu with her dear friend Joyce Burton. Two weeks of sun, sea and sand should be just what they need. But on their very first morning in Corfu, Joyce turns up dead in her bed. Everyone says she took her own life. But Mrs Pargeter knows there are fishy dealings afoot — and it’s up to her to uncover the truth.
THE DETECTIVE
Sixty-something Melita Pargeter is a woman in her prime — classy, earthy and sharp as a tack. Don’t believe the rumours about her late husband. The perfect gent, he left Mrs P. wanting for nothing. On his advice, she never leaves home without binoculars, gloves and a skeleton key. And these trusty essentials have always served her well. But murder seems to follow her to every new address . . .
