Eccentric Annabeth Gentry pretty much keeps to herself. Besides her recent inheritance – and the attention her bloodhound gets for digging up the body of a murdered thief – her life is in fact rather dull. So why does she think that someone is trying to kill her? That’s what Mrs. Jeffries and her staff have to find out. What they discover is a dead body next door and three attempts on Annabeth’s life. It sounds like there’s a jealous dog in their midst. Mrs. Jeffries will have to sniff out some clues before the plot thickens . . .

Praise for the Mrs Jeffries Mysteries:
