Read a sample Read a sample
A wealthy woman's demise disrupts the peace of an English village: "A delight." —Time Out

The sleepy seaside town of Taviscombe has more than its share of gossips and schemers. It also has Mrs. Sheila Malory, a widow whose gift for judging character and unmasking murderers is as impressive as her knowledge of nineteenth-century literature.

Mrs. Malory's sleuthing talents are tested once again when she comes upon the body of one of her friends, a sweet elderly lady. Miss Graham's death by poison is quite convenient for a local doctor of dubious reputation—because the dead woman's refusal to move had thwarted Dr. Cowley's plans to build a nursing home. But Mrs. Malory knows that nothing is as simple as it seems, especially when it is revealed that Miss Graham left a considerable fortune.

Another suspicious death during a fireworks display further complicates matters. These two very different murders—one furtive, the other violent—can't possibly be related. Or can they?

"A wonderful heroine." —St. Petersburg Times

"Anglophiles will delight in the authentically British Mrs. Malory." —Booklist
