When her real estate agent mum asks Aurora to show a house
to a client, the last thing she expects to find is a dead body.
While showing the house and garden to Martin Bardell, a
businessman new to the area, Roe finds the scarf of another agent who she soon
discovers was reported missing the day before and while she’s showing Martin
the garden, they find her body.
With the police soon called to the house, Roe can’t help but
feel there’s something different about the house which she used to spend time
in as a child and soon realises while comparing old photographs, that a
painting has been stolen.
As Roe does her usual sleuthing around, the police are less
than impressed to find her interviewing people and asking questions, but when
her theory that the murderer could be another real estate agent is proved
correct, they have no choice but to let her carry on.
While the police continue their investigation, Roe feels
it’s her duty to uncover the murderer as she’s scared her mother or another
agent could be in danger and as she digs deeper and discovers a connection
which could tie the crime to a number of others, she begins to realise that the
pool of suspects could be just a bit bigger than they thought.
As always, this cosy murder mystery was a delight to watch
and I enjoyed it from start to finish. Although it’s unrealistic and you tend
to question when Roe actually does any work as a librarian with all the
sleuthing she does, it’s an easy watch which doesn’t require you to think too
much.
