Latest Release from Kathy

When an innocent knock turns up a body, can she step into the dead man’s shoes and put the cuffs on a scheming murderer?

Leta Parker needs a distraction. With her boyfriend temporarily staying in Connecticut, the confident retiree is ready to dive into the design and team-building conference being hosted by her adopted Cotswolds village.
