Publisher's Summary

As snow covers perfect little Dulwich Village, amateur sleuth Beth Haldane is certain something’s amiss. There’s a suspicious solicitor, poorly pooches, and...a plot to murder?

Beth Haldane is getting ready for a quiet Christmas with her son and their beloved grumpy cat when fellow single mother Nina begs her for help. Something fishy is going on with Mr. Potter, the solicitor she works for.... Business is slow, with the accounts empty. So why does his wife have such an impressive collection of designer dresses?

Unable to resist a puzzle, Beth agrees to cover Nina’s job as a receptionist to get a closer look. But just as she finds a mysterious key hidden away in the office, Mrs. Potter arrives in floods of tears with terrible news for her husband. Their precious pet, Lancelot the Great Dane, has been found dead in his basket. Mrs. Potter suspects a poisoning....

Beth is shocked anyone would harm a beloved family pet, but the Potters are definitely hiding something. When an elderly widow comes to Mr. Potter’s office begging for help with her will, Beth starts to suspect foul play.... Is Mr. Potter taking advantage of this sweet old lady? And why is he curiously cool when his whole family is distraught about Lancelot?

Beth is determined to find what the mysterious key unlocks, discover Mr. Potter’s secrets, and get answers about the local pet-killer before they set their sights on an owner next time. But is Beth getting closer and closer to her own sticky end?

A totally addictive cozy mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, The Thursday Murder Club, and T.E. Kinsey.

This book was previously published as Homicide in Herne Hill.
