There’d be no more of her tasteless display of jewellery, no more overtures of friendship suddenly withdrawn, no more doors slammed in other people’s faces.   For Angela and Caledonia, live-wire veterans of an earlier murder investigation at Camden, the case offers a glorious opportunity to have some fun as they help their handsome detective friend, Lieutenant Martinez, with a bit of on-site snooping. It’s soon clear that awful Amy had indeed been up to something fishy. And with the killer still on the scene, intrepid Angela may be the next victim...","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44583360430258,"sku":"9781788424813","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781788424813_da38cb8f-99d9-457d-ba1b-1aae274f7a31.jpg?v=1786027292"},{"product_id":"9781788424912","title":"The Geezer Factory Murders","description":"Irrepressible amateur sleuths Angela Benbow and Caledonia Wingate are in action again.
