Synopsis

The latest Lois Meade mysteryLois Meade wasnt keen on Reg Abthorpe, who asked her to clean Herbert Everitts house after he moved into an old folks home. No one in their closely-knit village thought Mr Everitt to be that infirm. Grim warnings appear on gateposts, villagers are intimidated, and some of Lois faithful staff are too frightened to express their fears. As the atmosphere darkens, Lois calls upon her old ally Hunter Cowgill.

About this title

About the Author:

Ann Purser lives in England.

From Booklist:

Entrepreneur, wife, mother, and inveterate snoop--that's Lois Mead. Owning a successful cleaning business provides Lois with the perfect opportunity to do what her long--suffering husband calls "ferretin.'" Her ability to learn her customers' darkest secrets has earned her a position as unpaid police informant and the undying gratitude of Inspector Cowgill, who harbors a secret crush on clever, outspoken Lois. Her latest adventure begins when a shady-looking character employs Lois' firm to clean his uncle's house. Seems the poor old gent has gone a bit ga-ga and been put into care. This is news to Lois, since the elderly man seemed fine a few days earlier. Then Lois learns that a badger-baiting ring, in which men torture and kill the poor animals for sport, is operating in the village. Shocked to the core, she vows to put a stop to this cruel activity. Naturally, the two story lines turn out to be related in this entertaining entry in Purser's series. The indomitable Lois is something of an updated Miss Marple. Emily Melton
