Some crimes are best solved by the book . Readers LOVE the Miss Beeton's Murder Agency series: `What a sleuth Miss Beeton is. I need more!' `Move over Agatha (and not Miss Beeton's loveable dog), there's a new queen in town' `Strong women, friendship and found family, not to mention a handsome detective and a very special dog called Agatha! How I loved this book' 'Absolutely delightful stuff, I really hope there's more to come' 'The perfect title to get cosy with this autumn and winter' ***** Alice Beeton runs a tight ship. Like her distant relative - the somewhat more famous Mrs Beeton - she believes there should be a place for everything, but she's not so sure she's in her place. Since a whirlwind romance with a billionaire swept her best friend, Jinx, off her feet and out of the city, Alice has been running the Good Household Management Agency by herself, supplying discreet domestic staff to the hyper-wealthy. Business has been booming lately, but more work brings even more problems. So when Jinx invites her to her new beau's country house, Alice jumps at the chance. But when a guest is attacked and priceless heirlooms stolen, Alice's plans for a quiet weekend reading one of her beloved mystery novels take a much darker turn. Along with her astute canine companion, Agatha, Miss Beeton is going to find out that some crimes are best solved by the book. ***** Perfect for fans of: -Cosy crime -Golden age crime fiction -Women sleuths -Found family -Old money and high society ***** `Clever clues, eccentric characters and a dash of old-fashioned sleuthing' Woman's Own `Mrs Beeton herself would be proud. A perfect recipe, best devoured in one sitting between elevenses and afternoon tea' Ian Moore `A glorious new addition to the cosy crime genre with recipes which will leave you wanting more' Melanie Cantor `Highly recommended' Nuala McGovern, Woman's Hour `An absolute delight . witty, pacy and, if I'm honest, just a little bit bonkers, it is fun and fabulous' My Weekly `Super-fun and super-readable' Fabulous
