Sinossi

All five books in 'Skeletons In The Cupboard', a series of cozy mystery novels by A.J. Griffiths-Jones, now in one volume!

The Villagers: Olive and Geoffrey are happier than ever. After moving to the countryside to bring up their three young children, they are welcomed with open arms by the friendly residents of the chocolate box village. But beyond the veil of rhododendrons and net curtains of this English country village, there is something more. As Olive's discoveries become more and more sinister, she begins to fear for her own sanity, and has to make choices that will decide the fate of her family.

The Seasiders: Grace & Dick Thomas are the proud owners of the Sandybank Guest House, a popular establishment set in a prime location overlooking the beach. Tourists come and go all year round, taking advantage of the beautiful setting and their host's wonderful culinary skills. However, it is the permanent residents of this pretty coastal town who cause net curtains to flutter and tongues to wag, with their myriad of secrets and tales to be told. Caught up in their midst, the Thomases live their lives regardless, checking guests in and checking guests out. But who holds the biggest secret of all?

The Congregation: The people of a bustling mining town in 1970s England are not sure to expect when their new, aloof Reverend Matthews descends upon his unfamiliar parish. Nevertheless, he is welcomed with open arms and gathered into the flock. However, on discovering a journal left by his predecessor, the clergyman soon begins to wonder what secrets lie behind the seemingly innocent lives of his congregation. The unexpected arrival of the Bishop causes the vicar to question his own past and a cloud descends upon his beliefs, causing chaos to both himself and the townsfolk residing just a stone's throw away.

The Circus: The year is 1985, and O'Hare's Travelling Circus is touring the country, taking the spectacular acts of clowns, high-flying acrobats and a muscular strongman to enthralled audiences across the land. They also have Psychic Sheila - resident fortune-teller and agony aunt - who stumbles through life one disastrous, romantic interlude at a time. Of course, no close-knit group would be complete without its fair share of secrets, and who better to uncover them than Sheila, with her sixth-sense and natural nose for a good mystery. But for some members of the clan, time is running out, and the race to uncover the biggest secret of all is on.

The Expats: In a leafy suburb of Shanghai lives Li Yang: a local employed by various foreign families to take care of their needs. It's the turn of the millennium and China is evolving. At the centre of the dynamic change is the vibrant hub of Shanghai: a place of luck, fortune and chance. In awe of the homes in which these strange people live, the housekeeper Li Yang gets to know the families who she's working with. What the westerners don't know is that in addition to her unusual working life, Li Yang has a turbulent home life, with her own son beginning to hide things from her. Something is going on, but Li Yang just can't seem to work out what it is. As the clock ticks, will she be able to stop the impending events before she loses the one thing she loves most?

Argyles and Arsenic

Molly MacRae

After ninety-three well-lived years, Violet MacAskill is ready to simplify her life. Her eccentric solution? She’ll throw a decanting and decluttering party at her family home—a Scottish Baronial manor near the seaside town of Inversgail. She sets aside everything she wants or needs, then she invites her many friends in to sip sherry and help themselves to whatever they want from all that’s left. Janet Marsh and Christine Robertson, two of the women who own Yon Bonnie Books in Inversgail, enjoy themselves at the party. Not everyone who attends has a good time though. Wendy Erskine, director of the Inversgail museum, is found dead, and rumors swirl about food poisoning from a local food truck. Then Violet tells Constable Hobbs that a tin of rat poison is missing. And when Hobbs’s own grandmother comes under suspicion for murder, he enlists the women from Yon Bonnie Books, and the race is on to find the murderer. But where do they begin? Are there clues in the “Shocking Stockings” exhibit at the museum? Will the antique scrapbook pasted full of trivia about arsenic and bygone poisoners offer a solution? Or does the answer lie closer to home—is one of Violet’s friends truly toxic? Poisonous games are afoot in Inversgail and the women of Yon Bonnie Books are playing to win.
