When Ruth Morgan arrives at the Osborne Outlet, expecting to consult on cakes, not crime, she finds more than discounted shoes: someone has murdered a shop owner and posed them like a mannequin.
The police have their suspect - the victim's bitter rival. But Ruth, relying on her sharp ex-cop instincts, and her reluctant grandson, believes they're wrong.
Beneath the Tudor facades and designer discounts lie deadly secrets, simmering feuds, and a hidden counterfeiting ring. Can Ruth expose the real killer before they close shop for good?
A series of light-hearted and absorbing whodunnits with a fun amateur sleuth. For fans of modern British mysteries, cozy settings, and female detectives.
