Product Description
Product Description
Mrs. Edith Rossiter, a rich matron, also has a wealth of greedy relatives–a cold-blooded daughter, a wastrel son, and a desperate sister. Because she is in excellent health, none of them can hope to inherit anytime soon … So when Edith vanishes from Taviscombe’s finest nursing home, the police suspect the worst, despite the lack of evidence. Mrs. Rossiter was a close friend of Mrs. Sheila Malory, who as usual applies her skills as an amateur detective to delve into the lives of the missing woman and her hopeful heirs. Was Edith addicted to sleeping pills? What did the mysterious couple seen in Edith’s company want from her? The truth will be stranger and more startling than even Mrs. Malory could have possibly imagined. The third of Hazel Holt’s Mrs. Malory mysteries.

Sheila Malory is puzzled and concerned when Mrs Rossiter - a friend of hers who lives in the local care home - disappears apparently without trace. Sheila has never liked Mrs Rossiter's daughter, Thelma, who is her own contemporary as she seems more interested in her mother's money than in her wellbeing. What has happened to Mrs Rossiter? This is a well written and intriguing mystery.
I've read a few other books in this interesting series by Hazel Holt and all are well written with interesting backgrounds. This one is no exception though some readers may find it a little lacking in action and violence. If you enjoy crime stories by the Golden Age writers such as Agatha Christie, Dorothy L Sayers and Anthony Berkeley you are likely to enjoy the Mrs Malory series.
