'Oozes charm, wit and bloody murder' JONATHAN WHITELAW, author of THE BINGO HALL DETECTIVES
'Beautifully unguessable ... bursting with life ... brilliant!' ALEX HAY, author of THE HOUSEKEEPERS
Audrey Brooks loves people. She loves finding out about their lives, their dreams, their odd habits. She even loves clearing up their messes - which is lucky, as she works as a cleaner. The only thing more satisfying than making a new acquaintance smile is shifting a particularly stubborn stain.
Lewis McLennan finds people irritating. Especially people like Audrey. His writing career is in the toilet and he hates his day job in recruitment. His closest relationship is with his coffee machine and, frankly, he likes it that way.
The only thing they have in common is that they both live in Marchfield Square. And that one of their neighbours is currently lying dead on his kitchen floor.
The police think the victim's wife did it. Their landlady, Celeste, is having none of that. And so a very unlikely (and unwilling) detective duo is born. In theory they have the skills to find the real killer - if they don't kill each other first. But should they be looking closer to home?
The perfect summer read for fans of Tom Hindle, Janice Hallett and Kristen Perrin.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Elderly heiress Celeste Van Duren intended Marchfield Square to be a haven from the outside world. A place for those who need somewhere safe from their pasts, or who could otherwise not afford to stay in the city they call home. That was the plan. One of her tenants being murdered in his own kitchen, and the police trying to pin it on his long-suffering wife, was not. So Celeste does what anyone with a lot of money, a strong sense of justice and a bad hip would do: she recruits two of her tenants to track down the real killer. Her cleaner, Audrey, knows everyone and is liked by all, while failed crime writer, Lewis, is known by no one. He hates his job, hates his life, and he's not that fond of Audrey either, but Celeste is persuasive.Despite their differences the two soon discover a surprising range of suspects and motives connected to the victim's dodgy art deals - but have they missed something closer to home After all, how well do you really know your neighbours The Maid meets Only Murders in the Building in this twist-packed cosy mystery set in the smallest residential square in London - the perfect summer read for fans of Janice Hallett, Tom Hindle and Samuel Burr.
