Tea. Scones. And … murder? Welcome to the wild world of Patricia Fisher—respectable English lady, freshly-minted private investigator, and full-time magnet for mayhem. One minute she’s buttering her crumpet, the next she’s knee-deep in corpses, conspiracies, and career criminals. So much for a quiet life in the village! With a ninja butler by her side, Patricia tackles gangsters, killers, and generally bad eggs using nothing but her razor-sharp wit. However, beneath the cricket teas and church council meetings, a more sinister undercurrent flows. And when Patricia inadvertently triggers the wrath of a powerful enemy, she finds herself marked for elimination. They believe they are the snake cornering the small furry animal. Patricia doesn’t stand a chance, right? Well, normally that might be true, but our lady has friends of her own–people who will come to her aid when she needs. That’s not the worst of it though, for the snake is about to find out the furry creature it cornered is a mongoose. Hold onto your seat, because these cozy mysteries are an adventure!
