A Party To Death
A masked costume party, a deadly game, and a cat among the magpies…
Toby Solano returns to The Hague to launch The Shamrock Detective Agency and to unearth the truth about the mysterious Arnold Exford – the dead and buried benefactor who apparently just tried to call his mobile…
A murder mystery-themed party invitation is hardly what Toby and his quick-witted sidekick Meredith envisaged for their new career as crime-fighters. But as evening falls and the guests gather, a deadly game begins and nothing is quite what it seems.
An elaborate investigation plays out against the delightful backdrop of narrow cobblestone streets, ornate Gothic churches, and wide well-surfaced cycle lanes. The Shamrock Detective Agency must risk reputation, personal safety, and spilt tea to prove it can hunt down a killer.
Will a neighbourhood of eccentric characters, poisonous fish, an opinionated cat, and dangerous coastal weather be a help or hindrance to the intrepid detectives?
Tea will be drunk, maps consulted, secret histories exhumed and at least one very long Dutch word mispronounced.

About the author
Julie Broussely
2 books8 followersJulie Broussely writes mystery stories she hopes will make you laugh and test your wits, and quite possibly inspire vague notions of wanting to visit watery, bicycle-obsessed European cities. She lives in the sunny Netherlands where it definitely doesn’t rain quite all the time, rather like her native England, although there are a lot more windmills and cycling is virtually mandatory.
