Summary

A hidden diary. A scrap of paper. An abandoned puppy. Could these three clues mean that Maggie's friend Lawrence didn't die from natural causes? Maggie believes so and intends to investigate, even if her broken ankle is slowing her down. Fresh from heartbreak, Clara travels from Sydney to country New Zealand to look after her injured great-aunt, only to find Maggie set upon investigating her friends death. As the two women dig into the death they uncover a not-so-wholesome side to the township of Waiawa, one which Sargent Richardson would rather they stayed away from. With help from her Mystery Book Club, will Maggie find out the truth about Lawrence's death? And will Marple the dog find her forever home?
