Proposals and Poison

Fenella Woods is happy to look at apartments with her boyfriend, police inspector Daniel Robinson. He wants to move closer to Fenella and central Douglas, and she’s delighted. While they’re visiting an apartment, however, someone unearths a box labeled “poison” behind an unused wine cellar in the building next door.Daniel is quick to offer to investigate while Fenella keeps apartment hunting. When she finds the perfect apartment, though, it’s just a little bit outside the inspector’s budget. Before Fenella can try to persuade him to let her help buy the place, however, a skeleton is discovered in the same unused space and Daniel is back on duty.Before long, the police have a list of men who went missing around the time they believe the body was hidden. Now they simply have to search for the men and try to work out how the body ended up under what had once been a luxury hotel.Can Fenella help Daniel work out which missing man has been found? Can they discover how the man died and who hid the body? And can they find an apartment that Daniel can afford, or will Fenella persuade the man to let her help him buy the perfect, if slightly too expensive, apartment just a few doors away from her building?
