‘Just the thing to chase the blues away’ M. C. Beaton
When a body found on the Honeychurch Hall estate proves to be that of a villager who had supposedly moved to Ireland years earlier, tongues start wagging and theories abound. Charlie Green had always been a rogue.
Although Charlie’s demise happened well before Kat’s arrival, Kat is drawn into the mystery when she finds two rare miniature portraits hidden inside a custom-made dollhouse of Honeychurch Hall. And then Charlie’s aunt suffers a mysterious fatal fall and suspicion lands on a stranger who is holidaying in the newly installed shepherd’s hut in the walled garden — one of Lady Lavinia’s latest hare-brained moneymaking schemes. Although there is something off about the tourist, Kat believes the culprit is fellow antique dealer.
With tales of blackmail, infidelity and greed gripping the small community, past and present collide and Kat realises that the miniatures harbour a vital secret that one particular person is willing to kill for.
