Sinopsis

The first three novels featuring the sleuthing Boston couple: “The screwball mystery is Charlotte MacLeod’s cup of tea.” —Chicago Tribune 
 
Packed with wit, simmering romance, and complicated crimes, the whodunits in this delightfully cozy collection from the two-time Edgar Award finalist include:

The Withdrawing Room 
 
Facing a dwindling inheritance and the loss of her stately Back Bay brownstone, Sarah opens her home to lodgers—deciding she prefers a boardinghouse to the poorhouse. But when the death of one resident is followed by another, she turns to detective Max Bittersohn for help . . . “One of the most gifted mystery authors writing today.” —Sojourner 
 
The Palace Guard 
 
A museum robbery leaves a guard dead, and art-fraud investigator Max teams up with widowed socialite Sarah to crack the case, even if it ruffles the feathers of the city’s upper crust . . . “If this is your first meeting with Sarah Kelling, oh how I envy you.” —Margaret Maron

"On the Marston Estate, there is a small door. Little more than a normal shed attached to a normal council house on a normal estate. But the door isn't normal. Because it isn't just a door. This door, with its peeled green paint and peephole half way up, leads to The Bogey Hole and the thing that local children say, still lives and feeds, behind it."
