A deadly cat and mouse game where everyone is a suspect, including retired kindergarten teacher turned sleuth Gwendolyn Strong.

No way in. No way out. Who killed the party host? Follow the clues with Gwen in this present-day homage to locked room mysteries of the Golden Era in Milford Bed & Breakfast. 

Gwendolyn Strong is invited to a sumptuous dinner. The occasion is the grand opening of a restored Victorian mansion as a bed and breakfast. Gwen’s husband Ken performed the restoration. A wealthy stockbroker and his socialite wife invites their family, close friends, business associates and a glamorous movie star. In the morning, the host is found dead, shot in the head. This locked room whodunnit pays homage to Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr. Phone lines are down and the only bridge to the mansion is washed away. The house is cut-off from outside assistance. Can Gwen solve the murder? There is a twist at the end.

 There are no talking cats or recipes in these fair-play clean whodunnits. You'll love how Gwen stays one step ahead of the cops. 

Fans of Agatha Christie and Richard Osman say this series is brilliant.
