Miss Beeton’s Murder Agency

Alice Beeton, a distant relative of the well-known Mrs Beeton, never expected to be single and without children after turning fifty. She had always dreamed of managing a perfect household but instead found herself living in a pristine apartment within a somewhat run-down building in Kensington. Her only consistent companion is Agatha, her clever yet overly protective corgi and Jack Russell mix. Alice runs the Good Household Management Agency, which provides discreet domestic staff to opulent townhouses and grand estates. Her services become crucial when Camille Messent urgently requires a new housekeeper, prompting Alice to send Enya, a confident young woman with excellent references and fluency in French. However, Alice's peaceful New Year's Day is abruptly disrupted by the shocking news that Enya has been discovered dead. With Detective Rigby, who is a bit rough around the edges, struggling to manage an effective investigation, and the affluent family involved closing ranks, it falls on Miss Beeton and her perceptive canine partner, Agatha, to take charge and solve the mystery. Ultimately, an organized mind is essential for uncovering a meticulously planned crime.
