A DELICIOUSLY QUIRKY COZY MYSTERY FULL OF TWISTS AND TURNS BY A BESTSELLING AUTHOR.

Meet Bea Abbot. Life in leafy Kensington should be all Georgian houses, beautiful parks and charming tea shops. But it turns out there are plenty of murders to solve for our amateur sleuth.

Two murdered moggies. Two missing heirlooms. One humdinger of a mystery for Bea.

Bea never wanted to work for Marcia Tredgold, the snobbish owner of Tredgold mansion. The woman is trouble with a capital T.

She fired half her staff in dramatic style, accusing her chef of pocketing a priceless gold watch. Chef Crossley says he was framed.

And now something terrible has happened to Mitzi and Poppy, Marcia’s beloved pedigree cats.

An act of vengeance, served up by Chef Crossley?

Chef Crossley certainly has plenty to be cross about and Bea won’t rest until she gets to the bottom of it all. But, little does she suspect, the killer is about to strike again.

And this time they have a human victim in their sights . . .

A charming cozy murder mystery packed with wit and intrigue. Fans of Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton, the Reverend Richard Coles and Jane Adams will love this unputdownable mystery.

ABOUT THE DETECTIVE
Sixty-something Bea Abbot is recently widowed and newly returned to London after taking an around-the-world trip with her late husband, Hamilton, one he never finished. Heartbroken but determined, she must decide what to do with her husband’s business. The Abbot Agency is an exclusive organisation which handles domestic crises such as house clearances, staff problems and entertaining. Bea is tempted to sell up and settle for a quiet life — a move urged upon her by her MP son Max and his socially ambitious wife Nicole. Bea can’t think of a better way to spend her sunset years, that is until she ends up investigating murders . . .
