Sinopse

British sleuth Patrick Dawlish must unravel fraud, arson, and murder in a case that proves there’s no insurance against human nature.   Sir Mortimer Kittle died after mistakenly eating poisonous fungi instead of mushrooms, , his demise ruled death by natural causes. His cousin, a struggling insurance agent with a family in Kensington, has inherited his millions. What’s there to investigate? Nothing, if you’re not Patrick Dawlish.   Hired by the deceased’s mother, Dawlish senses something fishy, especially when someone breaks into his office. With a little further investigation, Dawlish comes up with three potential motives for murder: the Kensington Kittle’s windfall, insurance fraud, or stock market rigging. But Dawlish only needs one reason to declare open warfare on those he suspects of foul play: the kidnapping of his wife. And no criminal has ever withstood the wrath of Patrick Dawlish when he’s been wronged . . .

    'Another excellent addition to this superb series' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real reader review
    Charlie Hunter does not like Christmas, especially the lead into it -- cooking endless servings of Christmas dinner. So when she is asked by Graeme Strickland, Michelin-starred chef, egomaniac and friend, to help out in a hotel restaurant in Edinburgh's New Town, for a fortnight, she accepts with alacrity. The Head Chef, David Jenkins, is a very old friend of Strickland's, and the job entails covering temporarily for a sous chef position, while Strickland provides cover for Charlie, gratis, in the Old Forge Café.
    She is scheduled to be there for a fortnight. But Charlie arrives in Edinburgh just in time to discover David Jenkins being stretchered out. An autopsy reveals the Chef has been poisoned with mushrooms. Was it an accident or a murder attempt? It looks like Charlie may be doing a rather different job…

    It's the holiday season on Daybreak Island, and Maddie James is looking forward to stepping out of the limelight, watching the island's Christmas decoration competition from afar, spending time with her boyfriend and family, running tours for visitors as part of the festivities, and spreading holiday cheer through cute cats in jingle bell collars. 
     
     
     
    But trouble hits close to home when word gets out that Donna Carey, the publisher of the island's only daily newspaper where Maddie's best friend Becky is editor, may be selling the business. Becky is a diehard journalist and to her, selling the only newspaper on the island is a fate worse than death. She publicly opposes the potential sale, wreaking havoc on her relationship with her big boss. 
     
     
     
    Maddie is sympathetic, but she has her own problems—like getting pulled into a role on the Christmas event committee despite her best efforts to stay far removed, and solving the case of a mysterious cat breeder trying to sell expensive designer cats as holiday gifts on the island. But then Donna winds up dead—electrocuted by her own Christmas decorations—and it appears to be more than an accident. To make matters worse, Becky becomes suspect number one. Maddie is thrown into another murder investigation in order to save her best friend from a Christmas behind bars.
