Description
Bea Abbot runs a domestic agency that doesn't 'do' murder. Her latest request from Zander is an awkward one, given their complicated past. He needs her to accompany him to meet the widow of his former boss, Denzil, who died under suspicious circumstances. The widow, Lady Honoria, has a history of bullying and racism, but she's now suing the Tudor Housing Trust for defamation. The missing paperwork that could have proved her husband's guilt is a mystery in itself. As Bea tries to navigate this complex situation, she must also contend with the pressure from Lord Murchison, who stands to lose everything if the truth comes out. As the plot thickens, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems. The first death may have appeared natural, but those which follow are anything but. With her son's marriage on the line and Zander's life in danger, Bea must use all her wits to unravel the mystery before it's too late.
