Synopsis

A scandalous art sale. A dead multimillionaire. An accusation of murder. Turning sixty isn't supposed to be this hard. To art teacher Hazel Bond, it seems as if fate has painted a target on her back. Widowed and jobless, she retreats to the picture-perfect alpine community of her childhood to paint, ski, and seek serenity. But serenity is off the menu when a rumoured sale of art and heritage treasures sparks angry protests. Then a wealthy art collector dies in an apparent accident at a nearby ski field, with Hazel as the only witness. Or, as the police view it, the only suspect. Her hopes of extricating herself aren't helped when she is drawn deeper into the mystery by two men with their own agendas. Benedict Finlayson is an uptight fish out of water who claims to be an international art expert. Gary Taylor is so laid back that he never left the '70s. Neither man is quite what he seems to be. Luckily, Hazel's eccentric godmother is right behind her, even if that means giving her a helpful shove in the back. Fuelled by wine, cheese, and pig-headed determination, these sleuths of a certain age are not about to let wealth and power get in the way of justice. Welcome to Book One in a murderous mystery tour of the stunning beauty of southern New Zealand.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Rose Pascoe loves to write historical and contemporary mysteries with a sprinkle of humour and a dash of romance. She lives in beautiful New Zealand, a country of beaches, lakes and mountains, where long walks provide the perfect conditions for dreaming up plots and fickle weather provides the incentive to sit down and write. After a career in health, justice and social research, her passion is for stories set against a backdrop of social justice. Her heroines are ordinary women, who meet the challenges thrown at them with ingenuity and courage.
