Pearls Before Swine

4th novel in the Brenna Taylor Mystery Series

What woman wouldn’t want a pearl necklace for a Valentine’s Day gift?  Geneva, Lady Swinbrook, when it’s offered on the chest of her dead husband, who’s found alone in the bell tower on their estate.  That’s just one peculiarity in the case that confronts the CID team from the Derbyshire Constabulary.  There’s the retired couple who hate Lord Swinbrook’s bell ringing; the husband of Lord S’s maid who hates the peerage and their wealth; Lord S’s younger brother who has a penchant for needing vast sums of money; Lady S’s former husband who wants to remarry her.

Even DS Brenna Taylor is up against a peculiarity of her own when she becomes obsessed with discovering the identity of DCI Graham’s Valentine’s Day date.  But this suddenly seems inconsequential when her life is in jeopardy and she stands to lose more than Graham’s love.
