Peggy Parsons is a Meddlesome Old Bat - E-book - ePub

Graffiti on her fence and a bottle of milk that goes missing from her doorstep are only the beginning for Margaret Parsons. A septuagenarian with a sparkling brain, the renowned writer of mystery novels spots a mysterious figure creeping from the house opposite her own in the very early hours. It's enough to set the wheels of her mind in motion. But are the two events even connected?A speight of burglaries in the area might just be the link, until a man is murdered close to the train station in the middle of the night.
Even worse, the main suspect turns out to be a good friend of someone Margaret cares for dearly. Her own best friend is Moira, a coarse, scatty, over-the-top sixty-eight year old woman whose raucous approach to life was Margaret's saviour after being widowed so brutally years before. With Moira's help, and the assistance of Tom, a kindly policeman, Margaret endeavours to uncover the truth. But in doing so, uncovers a web of lies surrounding her husband's so-called accident.
