Meet Edie Fox: doting grandmother, retired teacher and owner of one bedraggled stray cat. Now Oxford’s most reluctant private investigator.

Edie Fox has taken some strange jobs. But ghostwriting a scandalous memoir for a rock legend’s ex-girlfriend might be her strangest yet.

Her client is Dylan, a slick London restaurateur desperate to protect his elderly sister. Suzie DuBarry lives in a sprawling villa filled with priceless antiques, waited on by two devoted live-in carers. Once the partner of a legendary rock star, Suzie wants to tell the world the truth about her glittering past before her memory fades.

Officially, Edie is there to write the book. Unofficially, she’s there to discover who is stealing from Suzie.

But as Suzie pours out decades of secrets, Edie realises something is wrong. The stories don’t add up. The memories don’t match. And someone in this house is hiding the truth.

Then a body falls from the balcony.

Now Edie’s ghostwriting project has become a murder investigation — and she’s uncovered a secret buried for fifty years.

And someone will do anything to make sure Suzie’s final story is never told.

Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton and Faith Martin.
