When Bunny Carter, the old lady from the Manor House, is discovered dead in an open grave, Sophie Sayers is sure it’s a case of foul play. But when it comes to suspects, she’s spoiled for choice!
Could it be one of Bunny’s squabbling children from her three different husbands?
Or perhaps Petunia Lot from the Cats Prevention charity, always angling for a legacy?
All of these - and more - had motive and opportunity.
But who is to blame? And can Sophie and her boyfriend, village bookseller Hector Munro, stop the killer before they strike again?
Perfect for fans of M C Beaton's Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth series.
