Order of Abbot Agency Books
The Abbot Agency series is a series of mystery novels by British author Veronica Heley. Bea Abbot and her husband have been running a highly successful agency for many years – a detective agency for clients who feel unable to get the police involved. But when he falls ill and dies, she is pressured by her son – a Member of Parliament – to retire. Bea is so exhausted from the long years of nursing her husband that retirement is just what she needs. What she gets is a couple of troubled young lodgers, and an old friend knocking on her door, asking for help on yet another murder case.
