Murder in the Daytime

An elegant death...


When Alice Beckingham returns to London to see her sister and niece safely installed in the family home, she hopes for some quiet time of contemplation. But she has scarcely walked through the doors of Ashton House when she is greeted once again by mayhem and danger.


A visit from a mysterious stranger offers Alice an intriguing concept, an opportunity to turn her snooping talents into a profitable business. And who better to join in her new venture than the clever and capable Sherborne Sharp?


But a sudden death turns Alice's plans upside down. Haunted by her failure to protect a client, Alice must discover who is behind a devious murder plot.
