AN ENCHANTING COZY MURDER MYSTERY FROM A BESTSELLING AUTHOR

A DEAD BODY IN THE CLOSET AND A LEAKING ROOF KEEP DOROTHY BUSY.

Dorothy Martin is still learning her way around the charming English cathedral town which she moved to a year ago from America.

But she recognizes a dead body when she sees one. The historic town hall is closed with its future hanging in the balance. Dorothy is visiting when the cleaner finds the dead body of a young man in a closet.

Her passion for mysteries is as hot as ever, of course. Despite warnings from her dear friend Chief Constable Alan Nesbitt not to get in the way of the official investigation, Dorothy simply can't resist taking a look around.

There are plenty more skeletons in local closets, enough to keep an amateur sleuth on her toes — unless the hands of a murderer reach her first. And not to mention her lovely house has water coming in through the roof!

Can she find a murderer and a decent builder?
