Synopsis

Bea Abbot is asked to find the man or woman who laid a booby trap for Sir Lucas Ossett, the powerful head of an international company, in his own block of flats. She finds Sir Lucas's wife in a state of fear, while gossiping elderly ladies cast doubt on the probity of their eclectic neighbours. Soon it's clear that Sir Lucas's influence reaches out to touch and perhaps corrupt even those nearest to Bea, while trivial incidents escalate into violence - and death.

About this title

Review:

"A closed-room drama with a fascinating set of characters makes for an intriguing whodunit"

The Abbot Agency's seventh outing will be just the thing for readers who like their cozies with a bit of bite.
Kirkus Reviews on False Alarm
"The stylish, sixtysomething Bea makes an appealing lead in a series that combines humor with quirky characters and a nicely evoked contemporary London settting"
Booklist on False Alarm
