  🪡 Vintage button shop owner Pearl Button is organizing a historical fashion exhibit when the town's most ruthless antique dealer is found dead in her shop—with a rare Victorian button shank lodged in his throat. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Pearl recognizes the button as part of a missing set from a legendary 19th-century gown and notices the victim's collection contains forged Civil War-era buttons. With her shop temporarily closed and the antique community buzzing with suspicion, Pearl must fasten together an investigation that spans centuries. Assisted by her sewing circle and the handsome museum curator researching local textile history, Pearl uncovers a scheme involving button counterfeiting, stolen military insignia, and a black market for historic fasteners. From suspicious thread holes that reveal modern manufacturing to enamel colors that don't match the period, every button tells a story. But when Pearl discovers the victim was blackmailing collectors about their forged collections and stolen heirlooms, she realizes the killer is protecting a reputation more fragile than porcelain. With the fashion exhibit opening soon and the real culprit still sewing deception, Pearl must stitch together the truth before her own button box gets permanently closed.

  Peddyr and Connie Quirk head for the Isle of Man, hoping for a well-deserved break from their private investigation business. However, in an underhand move by Peddyr’s cousin Superintendent Eddie Cadogan, their hotel booking is changed, and they are redirected to Hodge Fell Farm, with its farm shop, butchery, café and quaint holiday cottages. 
  When they meet their hosts – including a certain Nick Popadopoulos – a relaxing holiday of bracing walks by the sea is quickly replaced by pigs, adultery, soap-making, drag queens, smoked sausages, scams and skulduggery. In their quest to work out what despicable scheme Nick has underway, Peddyr and Connie soon realise that not everyone is being honest with them. Time is not on their side, and they must rely on their wits to act before someone gets away with murder. 
  'Another great book by Ms Morgan, and it’s an absolutely delightful read.' CAROLE GOURLAY 
  'Pig out on a succulent tale of treachery and deceit.' PETER FLEMING 
  A whodunnit, brilliantly woven into the humorous, easy going relationship of the Quirks. They are a team in every sense, loyal and light hearted...but underestimate their professionalism at your peril!' SARAH LECK

  Helen Stoner worries her stepfather may be trying to kill her after he contrives to move her to the bedroom where her sister had died two years earlier, shortly before her wedding. Stoner is herself now engaged, and Holmes learns that her stepfather's annuity (from the estate of his wife — Stoner's mother) would be greatly reduced if either sister married. During a late-night investigation of the bedroom, Holmes and Watson discover a dummy bell-pull near a ventilator. As they lie in wait a whistle sounds, then a snake appears through the ventilator. Holmes attacks the snake with his riding crop; it retreats to the next room, where it attacks and kills Stoner's stepfather.
