Alice Beeton, a single and childless woman in her fifties, runs the Good Household Management Agency, providing discreet domestic staff to extravagant townhouses and sprawling country piles. When Camille Messent calls in urgent need of a new housekeeper, Miss Beeton sends out new hire Enya, who is fluent in French. However, in the early hours of New Year's Day, Alice is rudely awakened with the news that Enya has been found dead. As the intriguing, if somewhat scruffy, Detective Rigby struggles to drum up an adequate investigation and the wealthy family and their party guests close rank, Miss Beeton takes it upon herself to solve the crime. Readers LOVE Miss Beeton's Murder Agency, with one reviewer stating, "What a sleuth Miss Beeton is. I need more!" and another stating, "Move over Agatha (and not Miss Beeton's loveable dog), there's a new queen in town!" The novel is a perfect recipe and devoured in one sitting between elevenses and afternoon tea.
