A cozy featuring the return of Mrs Pargeter
For Mrs Pargeter, it is a matter of principle that she should complete
any of her late husband's unfinished business. Amongst the many bequests
he made to her, perhaps the most valuable is his little black book, in
which he listed all the people who ever worked for him, with details of
their particular skill sets. This means that whenever Mrs P has a crime
to solve she can readily contact someone with the relevant expertise to
help in her enquiries.
Attending the funeral of the rich and respected Sir Normington Winthrop,
because his is one of the names in the little black book, Mrs Pargeter
sets out to discover the connection between Sir Normington and her late
husband. Her investigations will draw her into a shady world of
gun-runners, shifty politicians - and a kidnapped vicar.
