False Charity by Veronica Heley
An English widow turns amateur sleuth when she matches wits with a killer in the first book in an "ingenious series" of cozy suspenseAfter the death of her husband, all Bea Abbot wants is a little quiet time to collect herself in her pretty Victorian home in Kensington, London. Despite the pressure from her well-intentioned son, the one thing Bea isn't ready to do is to sell the domestic agency she shared with her beloved Hamilton, especially when there's still business to settle. Bea's old friend Coral has been stiffed by a client, big time, and now her catering firm is in the red.
With the help of her unlikely new partners--a flighty pink-haired temp and a hyperactive teenage computer geek--Bea discovers that there's more to this case of fraud than meets the eye. Bounced checks and disappearing funds are just the beginning of an increasingly deadly investigation. And it's all Bea can do to stay one step ahead of a killer.
Veronica Heley is a dedicated member of her local church and community. She is a resident of Ealing, West London. Veronica is the author of the Ellie Quicke Mysteries and the Abbot Agency series, all of which are hugely popular. The fourteenth Abbot Agency novel is False Conclusion.
