AN ENCHANTING COZY MYSTERY FROM A BESTSELLING AUTHOR

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Filled with characters who would feel
right at home in an Agatha Christie mystery.” Booklist

An art school party ends in a grisly find . . .

Wolfson Art College is opening its doors for one night only. Dorothy Martin will be there, rubbing shoulders with teachers, students and bohemians.

The occasion? Gillian Roberts is joining the faculty. And there’s nothing this gifted young sculptress can’t do with a chisel.

All eyes ought to be on her. But then her loathsome boss turns up dead.

Stabbed with a chisel.
Hurled down a lift shaft.
Murdered once, twice . . . maybe even three times over.


Every guest at the party wanted him dead.
But who is guilty of the ultimate crime?

Perfect for fans of
Stella Cameron, Faith Martin, Agatha Christie, Frances Evesham, Betty Rowlands, or M.C. Beaton.
