Cozy Murder Mystery Novel

Embittered former police detective Liz Connelly and recently unseated Member of Parliament Jack Emerson, both need a fresh start. The two join forces as private investigators, but nothing prepares them for their first client, the plain-spoken and often tactless widow Elsie Cairns who is desperate to trace her missing adult son Miles after he disappeared without explanation. Liz, Jack and Clynton take on the case, but soon stumble upon secrets festering behind respectable masks of convenience. As a ruinous conspiracy threatens to engulf the entire town of Moorton, the partners are drawn into an increasingly intriguing and deadly mystery - one they have no hope of solving without the help of unsettling reminders from Liz's professional past. Drawing on characters from the popular Moorton Community series and laced with dark humour, Chimera's Mask is a relatively cozy murder mystery novel that sees the introduction of the Moorton Detective Agency as its fractious members struggle to unite as a team.
