The first in the beloved mystery series set in an English seaside village is "an original, witty, and oddly poignant story" (Publishers Weekly).
Everyone in Taviscombe knows that impertinent Lee Montgomery is marrying Charles Richardson for his money, and after Lee vanishes, Charles' friends breathe a sigh of relief. But Charles loves his pretty fiancée and is determined to get her back.
He enlists the talents of Mrs. Sheila Malory, whose pastimes include reading nineteenth-century novels and ferreting out the truth. Mrs. Malory, a reluctant amateur detective, is soon convinced that Lee has been the victim of foul play. The residents of this sleepy seaside town are about to discover just how difficult it is to keep their terrible secrets with Mrs. Malory on the case, in this first novel in the series that offers "a charming slice of British village life" (Chicago Sun-Times).
"Nicely observed, skillful plot and a clever solution." —The Times (London)
"A wonderful heroine." —St. Petersburg Times
"Anglophiles will delight in the authentically British Mrs. Malory." —Booklist
