A widowed amateur sleuth shadows an international art thief from London to Bruges in this âsprightly second cozyâ by the author of False Charity (Publishers Weekly). Bea Abbot doesnât do murder. The modest agency she runs from her Victorian home in Kensington is better at finding good domestic help and the best caterers. Yet how can she turn away her oldest friend? Velmaâs prodigal stepson Philip has vanished. So has a valuable pre-Raphaelite painting from the home of Philipâs eccentric godmother, Lady Lucinda Farne. Seeing that Lucindaâs been stabbed to death, she canât possibly clear Philipâs name. But Bea can. At least thatâs what Velma hopes. Now Bea must locate a runaway bad boy, track down a valuable Millais, and solve a deadly crime. Of course, if Philip didnât do it, that means Bea and her wily young undercover assistant will be tangling with someone far more dangerousâa professional well-schooled in the art of murder.
