Product Description

One body. Two unlikely sleuths. The time for playing nicely is over... Widower Mimi is rarely one to ask for help. She knows where to buy her favourite sourdough. And she knows the unmatched pleasure of an evening crossword with her cocktail of choice – a Gibson. But when Mimi receives an invite to her wealthy neighbour’s charity auction, she knows she needs back-up – fast – and she knows just who to ask. Mimi’s granddaughter Addie needs help too. Three months ago she was toasting her engagement and the success of the hit video game she created with her fiancé. Now she’s single and her ex has cut out of a deal to sell their murder mystery game for millions. A weekend with her grandmother promises welcome relief from endless reruns of Buffy and Poirot. But what Mimi isn’t telling Addie is that a blackmail threat looms over the invitation. The auction is barely underway when the host’s body is discovered in the lavish halls of her own mansion. Soon Mimi and Addie are caught in a dangerous game as they use their unique skills to narrow down the suspects. And when another body turns up, it’s clear that only the winner will survive…

‘Miss Marple meets Only Murders in the Building’ Jennie GodfreyFIVE-STAR READER REVIEWS:‘Such a fun read!’ ‘My favourite book this year’‘Fantastically done’77-year-old Mimi is giving up her usual evening crossword and Gibson martini to attend her neighbour Jane Ireland’s extravagant auction party. None of the other guests know that Mimi has been blackmailed into attending, which is why she ropes her granddaughter, Addie, into accompanying her. As Addie spots celebrities in the halls of Jane’s grand old mansion and Mimi wonders how to confess the real reason for their presence, a scream pierces the air. Jane is dead. And when the second body turns up, Mimi and Addie soon become the unlikeliest of sleuths as they race to narrow down the suspects. In a house whose labyrinthine rooms are brimming withsecrets, it’s going to take more than a Gibson to survive the night . . .
