⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘This series of books about Bea Abbot just keep getting better and better. This one starts off with a bang and never lets up.’ Violet
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.
It’s a warm Friday afternoon. Bea is about to tuck into lunch in the shade of the beautiful sycamore tree at the bottom of her garden. Suddenly, bricks come crashing down in a tangle of ivy. Bea leaps out of the way just in time . . .
Later that day, the police knock on Bea’s door. The collapse of her garden wall has unearthed a human skeleton. Curious, Bea sets out to learn who the bones belong to and how they came to be buried in her garden.
No sooner has she started, she finds herself in serious trouble. Someone breaks into her home and rifles through her belongings. Why are her neighbours blaming her for the wall’s collapse? Her fiancé Leon is acting strangely.
Someone is clearly targeting Bea, but why? And what on earth does it have to do with the skeleton in the garden?
For the first time in her life, she’s truly stumped. . .
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 . . .
