Murder at Tanton Towers

Everyone told Cara Shelly that she was crazy to set up a cafâe in the shadow of eccentric Kentish stately home Tanton Towers. But three years later, the Happy Huffkin cafâe is thriving, and Cara considers the Tanton Towers staff - and its eccentric owners, Max and Alison - to be like family. But one summer evening, Alison comes hurtling down to the cafâe to beg her for help. Daphne Hanson, queen of the Towers' costume-clad dancing troupe is lying dead in the orangery. Strangled! But by whom? And why? Determined that the culprit should not be one of her friends, and suspicious of the detective assigned the case - the annoyingly attractive DCI Andrew Mitchem - Cara launches her own investigation. But the more secrets she uncovers, the more she's forced to consider the unthinkable: that one of her dear friends could be the killer...
