A Beryl and Edwina Mystery (Book 5)
When Constance Maitland seeks to hire Beryl and Edwina for a sham investigation into an alleged dalliance by her sister-in-law Ursula to quell potentially scandalous accusations by an unstable cousin, it is with mixed feelings that they agree to pose as guests at her home. But when the painter suspected of having an affair with Ursula is found strangled, the pretense turns into a genuine murder enquiry. Beryl and Edwina must determine if they are dealing with a crime of passion or if there are more complex motives in play. In any case, the intrepid sleuths will not leave until they have smoked out the real killer.
