Hazel Holt Bücher

Ever the proper British matron, Hazel Holt's delightful sleuth, Mrs. Sheila Malory, shops at Marks and Spencer, makes a smashing nursery pudding, and solves murders with equal aplomb. London solicitor Graham Percy has always been a trial, but Mrs. Malory's kindhearted late husband simply couldn't turn his back on his old Oxford acquaintance. Now Mrs. Malory has inherited the persnickety bachelor - along with his boring stories, chronic complaints, and interminable four-day-yearly visits to her home in the scenic seaside town of Taviscombe. But this year is different. Graham Percy's stay is cut abruptly short...when someone stabs him most fatally.

Sheila Malory is being kept busy by her relations, particularly her god-daughter and granddaughter who have gone horse-mad at the local stables. Run by glamorous couple Jo and Charlie Hamilton, she a former leading lady and he a once Olympic standard equestrian, the stables seems to be a fine business - but is all as it seems?
