The Girl in the Gazebo

The coroner report says accident. Her gut tells her homicide. Can this shrewd accountant get to the root of a tragic and mysterious death?
Canadian Lakes, 1984. Miss Riddell is a strong believer in justice. So when her grieving boss calls in the forensic auditor to help investigate the accidental demise of his sixteen-year-old daughter, she quickly gets to work. But despite the authorities' certainty that the tragedy was an unintended overdose, Miss Riddell soon suspects foul play...
Tirelessly gathering information and testimonies, the detail-oriented woman's instincts are confirmed when the girl's supposed storyline doesn't match the facts. And with the killer still hiding in plain sight, Miss Riddell fears they could strike again at a moment's notice.
Will Miss Riddell unmask the culprit before they return to claim more innocent lives?
The Girl in the Gazebo is the page-turning eighth book in the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series. If you like complex puzzles, grounded sleuths, and eye-opening reveals, then you'll love P.C. James's curious adventure.

Info autore

"I've always loved mysteries, especially those involving Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Perhaps because Miss Marple reminds me of my aunts when I was growing up. But Agatha never told us much about Miss Marple's earlier life. While writing my own elderly super-sleuth series, I'm tracing her career from the start. As you'll see, if you follow the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series. However, this is my Bio, not Miss Riddell's, so here goes with all you need to know about me: After retiring, I became a writer and when I'm not feverishly typing on my laptop, you'll find me running, cycling, walking, and taking wildlife photos wherever and whenever I can. My cozy mystery series begins in northern England because that was my home growing up and that's also the home of so many great cozy mysteries. Stay with me though because Miss Riddell loves to travel as much as I do and the stories will take us to the many different places around the world I've lived in or visited. "
