Description
Wealthy Marcia Tredgold and her daughter, Charlotte, want Bea Abbot to find them replacements for staff who have left under a cloud. Bea discovers that all those dismissed were close to Marcia Tredgold, and senses that something is not right. Were they framed, and if so by whom – and why?
Even more curiously, when Marcia Tredgold gets Bea alone, she asks her to find out who killed her two cats. Bea resists becoming involved in the strange goings-on at the Tredgold mansion, until a shocking event leads her to worry about Marcia’s safety. Could the cats’ deaths be linked to other disturbing events? And whose account can be trusted in the web of secrets and lies which has been spun around the family? In her quest to uncover the truth, Bea’s own safety is put at risk.

False Account is the thirteenth novel in the Abbot Agency series, featuring intrepid investigator Bea Abbot and chums, and this is another superb, original instalment that is an easy, quick and thoroughly entertaining read. Each of the books can be read as a standalone without issue. As always, the characters are interesting and well developed, however, they are not always likeable, but given the genre that's hardly a surprise. There are plenty of twists and turns throughout, and Heley is adept at slowly ratcheting up the tension to keep you enthralled. Those who enjoy reading cosy mysteries will find much to love here. I'm already looking forward to the next episode.
Many thanks to Severn House Publishing for an ARC.

Book 13 in the Abbot Agency series from Veronica Heley. When Bea Abbot is asked to assist in finding more staff for a wealthy client she discovers some odd goings on and a wealth of secrets which may put her own safety in jeapordy. An enjoyable, cosy type mystery with good characterisation and an intriguing plot. A pleasure, as always, to read. Highly recommended.
