The Girl in the Gazebo: A Cozy Mystery of Justice, Danger, and a Deadly Cover-Up (Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries Book 8) Kindle Edition

by P.C. James (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (103)

The coroner report says accident. Her gut tells her homicide. Can this shrewd accountant get to the root of a tragic and mysterious death?

Canadian Lakes, 1984. Miss Riddell is a strong believer in justice. So when her grieving boss calls in the forensic auditor to help investigate the accidental demise of his sixteen-year-old daughter, she quickly gets to work. But despite the authorities’ certainty that the tragedy was an unintended overdose, Miss Riddell soon suspects foul play…

Tirelessly gathering information and testimonies, the detail-oriented woman’s instincts are confirmed when the girl’s supposed storyline doesn’t match the facts. And with the killer still hiding in plain sight, Miss Riddell fears they could strike again at a moment’s notice.

Will Miss Riddell unmask the culprit before they return to claim more innocent lives?

The Girl in the Gazebo is the page-turning eighth book in the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series. If you like complex puzzles, grounded sleuths, and eye-opening reveals, then you’ll love P.C. James’s curious adventure.

Praise for the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries Series:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pauline Riddell is sharp. She is curious, maybe a bit nosey, but she gets the job done.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ … an easy read, perfect for a winter night in front of the roaring fire place with a cup of hot cocoa cuddled up with a few friendly blankets.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ These books are simply a pleasant way to while away a few hours, literary staycations essentially.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good plot, great pacing, interesting characters.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A cozy mystery in the classic definition, much like curling up with an Agatha Christie.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The author will keep you guessing who did it and why.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’ve always loved mysteries, especially those involving Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Perhaps because Miss Marple reminds me of my aunts when I was growing up. But Agatha never told us much about Miss Marple's earlier life. While writing my own elderly super-sleuth series, I’m tracing her career from the start. As you’ll see, if you follow the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series.

However, this is my Bio, not Miss Riddell’s, so here goes with all you need to know about me: After retiring, I became a writer and when I’m not feverishly typing on my laptop, you’ll find me running, cycling, walking, and taking wildlife photos wherever and whenever I can. My cozy mystery series begins in northern England because that was my home growing up and that’s also the home of so many great cozy mysteries. Stay with me though because Miss Riddell loves to travel as much as I do and the stories will take us to the many different places around the world I’ve lived in or visited.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Murder in cottage country.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This latest cozy mystery sees main character Pauline Riddell called in by her boss to investigate the tragic death of his 16 year old daughter. Was it a heroin overdose, or something more sinister?

    The story unfolds in Ontario's beautiful cottage country, an area full of lakes and vacation homes. Pauline is out of her comfort zone in more ways than one, and it was entertaining to read about her battles with bugs and the elements, as well as learning how to paddle a canoe.

    I enjoyed this newest book in the series. It's well-paced, easy to read, and shows the main character's determination to discover the truth even when stonewalled at every turn.

    I have loved all the Pauline Riddell mysteries. The problem is I don't get anything else done once I pick up the latest installment as they are very hard to put down. Pauline finds herself at her boss' vacation cottage in Muskoka. I myself visited a friend on Lake Muskoka when I was in college. What a beautiful area of Canada. PC James described it perfectly. Let's see what mischief Pauline gets into next time. I recommend this series to anyone who loves a good mystery. Thanks for continuing the saga!

    I'm having so much fun with this series! P.C. James has a wonderful style, and I just adore Pauline — she has brilliance, spunk, and determination. I love that she is thoughtful and clever, and even though she always unravels the mystery, she is never boastful. She's a character who is very easy to cheer along, and her mysteries are always engaging. I'm already looking forward to her next adventure!

    P.C. James’ latest in the Miss Riddell series does not disappoint. Imagine being summoned by your boss to investigate his daughter’s suspicious death. Or was it an accident? Once again, we follow Pauline as she unravels the clues. James leaves just enough hints throughout this well-paced story to help the reader solve the mystery.
