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.
Bea believes in helping people in trouble, but she does ask them to respect her working hours. Unfortunately, this murderer has no respect — neither for her, nor her routine.
Bea’s friend Leon needs her help. He thinks someone is trying to kill him. Lured to a mysterious rendezvous at a car park, Leon is almost hit by a van which comes hurtling towards him. Shaken, he asks Bea to help figure out who is behind this and why.
The following day, Leon’s older brother and a mysterious woman are both discovered in the car park — each in a separate car, slumped over their steering wheels, stabbed to death.
To make matters worse, a virus suddenly infects the agency’s system, throwing Bea’s business into turmoil. A series of nasty phone calls follows. Someone is clearly targeting Bea. But why?
As if that’s not enough to cope with, Bea has an unexpected marriage proposal . . .
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 . . .
