Pepper Jasper thought her biggest problem was choosing wedding flowers, until a surprise guest arrived at Mugwort Manor, and he was very much dead.
With Lucas overseas on a classified Cleaner case, Pepper finds herself juggling the aunts, a shapeshifting housemate with questionable table manners, a dachshund who thinks he’s fluent in French, and a sinister organisation known only as The Other.
When a cheerful new boarder turns up and promptly delivers a corpse instead of luggage, Pepper is dragged straight into another Mugwort Manor mystery, one with sharp edges, dangerous secrets, and a killer who may be far closer than anyone realises.
Luckily, Pepper has never met a problem she couldn’t solve, preferably with caffeine, charm, and a little supernatural help.
