With the publication of A Deadly Concoction, the Tiggy Jones Mystery Series is now a trilogy. Three twisted and perplexing puzzles. Small town English mysteries with an edge – and a dog.
A Scrap of Silk follows the tangled mystery behind Tiggy’s inheritance of an English boathouse full of secrets and a dog who knows the truth.
