Mrs Pargeter's Public Relations

Mrs Pargeter's Public Relations by Simon Brett

Summary:  Mrs Pargeter discovers the skills by which Public Relations can make evil look good in the latest wickedly entertaining mystery.

It is her characteristic generosity rather than her love of animals that finds Mrs Pargeter supporting her friend, Jasmine Angold, at a charity reception for PhiliPussies, whose worthy aim is to rehabilitate stray cats from the Greek island of Atmos into caring English homes. But the evening is to have unexpected consequences. At the event, Mrs P is taken aback to meet a woman who claims to be the sister of her late husband, the much-missed Mr Pargeter.

This surprising encounter leads to unwelcome digging into past secrets, the discovery of a body in Epping Forest, an eventful trip to Greece - and unexpected danger for Mrs Pargeter. In the course of her investigations, she learns the true nature of charity and the dubious skills by which Public Relations can make evil look good.

Angie’s comments: I love the character of Mrs Pargeter! This is book 8 of the Mrs Pargeter Mystery series, and per the norm, this is the first one I have read. It works as a stand-alone, although you might want to start with the first one, Nice Class of Corpse, or the second one, Mrs, Presumed Dead. Lots of humor and the mystery makes perfect sense.


Recommended for cozy mystery readers.
