Very Merry Murder Mystery

Meredith Gray's stay away from home puts her right in the middle of a murder! Forced to stay at Silver Brook's premier B&B while my house is fumigated should be a chance to kick back and relax...but not all of my fellow guests see it that way. When a member of staff is poisoned it soon becomes clear that all is not as it seems at the Harmony Inn...

Meredith Gray's idea of a vacation doesn't usually involve camping, canvas or a killer on the loose.Camping wasn't quite what I had in mind when my boyfriend Rob suggested a romantic getaway. I'm not exactly what you might call an "outdoor girl", and whilst I love the idea of spending a night together under the stars, I certainly don't expect to stumble over a body in the middle of our quiet campground… When Rachel Beattie isn't writing stories, she's usually reading them - especially of the cozy mystery variety. A lifelong devotee of Agatha Christie, she loves putting ze little grey cells to work and is especially fond of anything that can make her laugh while she's collecting a clue or two.

Meredith Gray is a sucker for a sob-story - but this one wriggles, wears a diaper and is obsessed with her pacifier...When my ex-husband asks me for a favor I say yes, like the idiot I am, but when that "favor" turns out to be a tiny human person I realize I may be in over my head. But a promise is a promise, and when a body turns up in the center of Silver Brook I may get left holding the baby for a lot longer than I planned!
