Sinossi

British sleuth Patrick Dawlish takes on an international conspiracy that preys on the hearts—and fortunes—of wealthy playboys.   As the English representative of the supranational crime-fighting organization, popularly known as the Crime Haters, Patrick Dawlish has his work cut out for him. The murder of a British millionaire’s son in Germany is bad enough, but the victim was helping the Crime Haters uncover a much larger scheme. This wasn’t the first time a rich heir was lured to Germany by an attractive actress—and then set up for blackmail. But it was the first time a father wouldn’t pay up. Now a terrifying warning has been sent: money or your son’s life.   When one of his own agents is killed trying to track down the elusive actress, Dawlish takes matters into his own hands. And Germany is going to get a taste of Britain’s most lethal export—Patrick Dawlish with a score to settle.

    Addison Harper is back, and with another dead body at his feet. Only this time, the entire town saw it happen. 
     
     
     
    Milverton is in the running for the Terrific Town Award, so a dramatic death at the opening ceremony is far from ideal. Addison had only been lending a hand, but now finds himself much more involved than he'd ever hoped. To think his biggest worry before had been his upcoming date with Sergeant Jake Murphy. 
     
     
     
    As for the sergeant, he can hardly ignore a hall full of witnesses even if he wanted to. And they're all pointing the finger at his date, Milverton's newest arrival, Addison Harper. 
     
     
     
    Poison at Penshaw Hall is the latest in a wonderful cozy mystery series set in an enchanting small town nestled amongst stunning New Zealand scenery. Investigate The Milverton Mysteries for a chaotic cast of local busybodies, delicious baked treats, a demanding and disdainful ginger cat, a very slow-burn romance with a rather appealing policeman, and of course . . . murder!

    Between taking care of her family and assorted Standard Poodles, Melanie is also working as a special needs tutor for Howard Academy, a private school in Greenwich, where her younger son attends kindergarten. This year, the headmaster has come up with an idea for a school fundraiser. All students will participate in a town-wide treasure hunt, with grades competing against each other. 
     
     
     
    Tokens shaped like pumpkin spice muffins have been hidden in downtown stores. Students will scramble to collect as many as they can in exchange for prizes. At first all goes smoothly, and the uptick in foot traffic to the stores is a win-win . . . Until the pet supply shop owner lodges a complaint. When Melanie stops by to smooth things over, she instead finds the man dead, a knife in his back, and his loyal, ever-vigilant Chow Chow locked in the storeroom. 
     
     
     
    Over the headmaster's objections, Melanie is once again drawn into an investigation. It doesn't take her long to gather a list of suspects, from neighbors balking about the number of rescue Chows the man was fostering in his home, to the landlord who'd filed an eviction notice against him, to the bitter ex-wife who is happy he's gone. With the fundraiser soon drawing to a close and celebrations imminent, Melanie will have to follow every clue—before the biggest prize is staying alive . . .

I loved the vivid descriptions stimulating a sensory or emotional response…A strong, haunted, intelligent female protagonist who is reckless at times. Her partner is equally competent and supportive.”

She had unresolved issues with her father and was haunted by her sister's disappearance. Ivy assisted the local police on a macabre case. The writing was exceptional!”
