Book #5

Book #1 The Murder Mystery, Book #2 The Murder Mystery, Book #3 The Murder Question, Book #4 The Murder Plot. Single mum and school historian Beth Haldane has promised her new beau, Detective Harry York, that her sleuthing days are behind her. But when she stumbles over the body of local artist Mark Smeaton while out walking, it's clear a killer is on the loose in Dulwich Village. Shocked, Beth can't resist delving into the mystery. Snooping around the nearby cozy cafes, Beth listens carefully to gossip and soon learns Mark's graffiti-style art was controversial. There are plenty who might want him gone. Was it the suspiciously charming gallery owner? A disgruntled resident offended by Mark's art? Or an old school chum with a secret about Mark's inspiration? A dinner party hosted by a friend soon gives Beth the chance to grill all her suspects. But following a lead back to the scene of the crime, Beth's search of a hollow tree throws up a mysterious envelope that stops her in her tracks.
