What do You think about Mrs. Pargeter's Plot (1999)?
Mrs. Pargeter is finally getting that cottage in the country she and her late husband always talked about. Unfortunately, construction hits a snag when her builder is arrested for murder and the corpse is found on the construction site. Mrs. Pargeter is sure that her builder, with the interesting nickname of Concrete Jacket, is innocent. She pulls out her notebooks of helpful names left to her by her late husband (who had some rather, well, UNUSUAL friends) and sets to work clearing Jacket's name.I love Mrs. Pargeter! This series is just so much fun. I wish Brett had written more in the series.
