MURDER AT THE OLD HOUSE: Book Ten

Melissa has just finished writing her latest mystery novel and is enjoying the arrival of spring when she receives shocking news. Her estranged father has been found dead in the family home, and her mother Sylvia is under suspicion of murder. Melissa hasn't seen her parents for nearly 30 years, but on hearing the dreadful news she rushes to her mother's side. With no-one else to turn to, Sylvia begs Melissa to investigate the case. Was it a disgruntled employee, the controlling family lawyer, or perhaps the woman with whom her father was having an affair? When another body is found, Melissa realises she's dealing with a ruthless killer. As the police close in, trying to pin both deaths on her mother, Melissa must act fast. Can she find a way to unmask the true killer before she loses her mother for a second time, and possibly forever? 234pp, paperback.
