A Body on the Doorstep

'I loved it!… I read the whole thing today… I was immediately sucked in!' Sssh We Are Reading ¿¿¿¿¿ London, 1921: Mabel Canning loves her new job assisting the great and good of London town. But as she welcomes guests into the Belgravia mansion of Rosalind Despard, a body falls down dead on the doorstep. Now that was a calamity she was not expecting! Glasses of sherry are abandoned, and the glamorous guests begin to run around like headless chickens while Gladys the terrier steals sandwiches from under their noses. Ever-practical Mabel takes charge, and she can't help but notice something mysterious peeking out from under the stranger's coat. A letter from Rosalind's husband Guy, dated seven years ago… the same day he disappeared. But before she can take a proper look it's snatched away by the police. Scotland Yard are focussed on the body's identity, but Mabel thinks solving Guy's disappearance is the key. And she knows all too well that if you need to get a job done, it's best you do it yourself! So with Gladys by her side, Mabel decides to sniff out the killer… Could the Despards' maid, Bridget, be as skilled at cooking up murder as she is at baking fruit cake? Or would Guy's stuffy solicitor Thomas kill to cover up his accounting mistake? It's a case murkier than the Thames, but when Mabel finds one of her top suspects drowned, she knows she is getting closer to the truth. Then she is followed through the foggy streets of London and a 'Woof' from Gladys tells her danger is knocking at her door… Can she outsmart the killer, or will she end up as dead as a doornail?
