Meet Mrs Pargeter, a vivacious widow whose mystery-solving talents come in handy when a murderer stalks a hotel. The victim is Mrs Selsby, timid occupant of the coveted seafront suite. Everyone says her death was a tragic accident, but Mrs Pargeter's not so sure...
Book 2: MRS, PRESUMED DEAD
Mrs Pargeter moves to a lovely new home in leafy Surrey. But when she tries to get in touch with the former owners, Mr and Mrs Cotton, it turns out they have vanished without trace. Mrs P. soon discovers that the nice Mrs Cotton was mixed up with some very shady characters indeed.
Book 3: MRS PARGETER'S PACKAGE
Mrs Pargeter jets off to the sleepy island of Corfu with her dear friend Joyce. Two weeks of sun, sea and sand should be just what they need. But on their very first morning in Corfu, Joyce turns up dead in her bed. Everyone says she took her own life. But Mrs P. knows there are fishy dealings afoot.
Book 4: MRS PARGETER'S POUND OF FLESH
When her friend suggests a few days away at a health spa, Mrs Pargeter is happy to tag along. After all, no one ever died of a little rest and relaxation. Did they? She spots the body of a fellow guest being wheeled out of the spa. Everyone says it was the woman's sparrow-like diet that killed her, but Mrs P's not so sure.
Book 5: MRS PARGETER'S PLOT
Constructions for Mrs P's dream summer home in Kent come to an abrupt halt when a body is discovered in the basement. The dead man appears to have been shot by a gun belonging to Concrete Jacket, her builder. Concrete is swiftly arrested for murder. But she smells a rat. Concrete may be a scoundrel but he's no killer. Someone set him up. But who?
Book 6: MRS PARGETER'S POINT OF HONOUR
Well-to-do widow Veronica is in quite the fix. Her shady husband left her a gallery of priceless 'borrowed' paintings. She wants to return them -- with a little help from her old friend, Mrs Pargeter. But when they arrive to pick up the paintings, they discover that someone has beaten them to it!
Book 7: MRS PARGETER'S PRINCIPLE
Sir Normington Winthrop's funeral is a surprisingly jolly affair. Mrs P. goes along to pay her respects -- and to discover his connection with her dear, departed Mr P. But when she approaches the teary widow, she is blocked by another mysterious mourner. He coolly threatens Mrs P. to stay away or else.
Book 8: MRS PARGETER'S PUBLIC RELATIONS
Mrs P. attends a charity event. But the night's barely begun when the lights go off, plunging the hall into darkness. When the power comes back on, the grand prize of the auction has disappeared. Days later, a guest is found dead. Why aren't the organizers concerned?
MEET YOUR NEW FAVOURITE SLEUTH
Sixty-something Melita Pargeter is in her prime: classy, earthy and sharp as a tack. Don't believe the rumours about her late husband. The perfect gent, he left Mrs P. wanting for nothing. Can she help it if murder follows wherever she goes?
