The Only Good Lawyer

More about the book

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.
