Description

The 14th book in Ann Purser's cosy crime series in which Lois Meade, owner of the New Brooms cleaning business, tidies houses - and also solves crimes. When a woman is discovered in the Mill House Hotel, strangled with a silver necklace, Lois puts on her sleuthing hat and delves into the case. As Inspector Cowgill and Lois hope the bling may shine a light on the killer, the discovery of a second body on the old waterwheel in the hotel may be grist for the mill in solving the murder - if they can manage to catch the culprit without getting the run-around.
