Nefarious Doings

For Nell Forrest, life in the little town of Majic is not going
smoothly. One of her five daughters has just swapped university for
fruit-picking, another is about to hit puberty, while a third keeps
leaving aggrieved messages on the answering machine. On top of all this,
her mother is infuriating and it's only been a matter of months since
Nell lost her husband of twenty-five years. It's no surprise, then, that
she is even struggling to write her weekly column.But
the floodgates of inspiration are about to swing open, almost knocking
her out in the process. Murder and mayhem, arson and adultery, dungeons,
death threats and disappearances are just around the corner. Despite
Nell's abysmal aptitude for investigative work, she manages to shine the
light on the local Richard III Society and that's when things really
start to heat up. Throw in some suspicious widows, nosy neighbours, a
canine witness, plus a detective who is getting a little closer than he
should, and it's clear that nefarious doings are well and truly afoot.
