Synopsis
It is early summer, and villagers are shocked by the discovery of a woman strangled by a silver necklace in her hotel bedroom, where a bagful of fake silver, gold and pearls is found tucked away in a cupboard. Inevitably, connections are made with Michel Black's luxury jewellery business. Michel's wife, Aurora, enlists the help of her friend, Lois Meade, to find innocent explanations, but then the plot thickens. Then Another unexplained death shocks the village, and Lois and Inspector Cowgill are once more on the warpath., Lois Meade has done enough buffing and polishing over the years with her cleaning business, New Brooms, to know that all that glitters is not gold. So when a bag of costume jewellery is the main clue in a murder, she has a strong suspicion that appearances may be deceiving... After a woman is discovered in the Mill House Hotel, strangled with a silver necklace beside a bag filled with faux silver, gold and pearls, costume jewelry dealer Donald Black seems like the obvious suspect. But Lois knows Donald's wife, who runs a baker's shop near the hotel, and can't believe her husband could be a killer. Plus, Donald has an airtight alibi. Nevertheless, Donald is no angel. It appears he's running a pyramid scheme, and Lois's mother is getting sucked in. Could the murder have anything to do with his unscrupulous business practices? As Inspector Cowgill and Lois hope the bling may shine a light on the killer, the discovery of a second body on the old waterwheel in the hotel may be grist for the mill in solving the murder--if they can manage to catch the culprit without getting the runaround.
