Más información sobre el libro

Mrs. Pargeter is not a fan of diets and is content with her ample figure. However, she agrees to accompany her friend Kim Thurrock to the exclusive Brotherton Hall health spa, provided she enjoys a special "allergy treatment" featuring gourmet food and fine wine. While looking forward to a luxurious stay, her plans are disrupted when she witnesses two men wheeling away a young girl's body. Determined to solve the mystery, Mrs. Pargeter embarks on a perilous investigation into the world of health and fitness, encountering various figures from her late husband's past, including private eye Truffler Mason, journalist Ellie Fenchurch, and the enigmatic Stan the Stapler. As she delves deeper, she questions their trustworthiness and confronts the shadow of her husband's betrayal linked to the ominous word "Streatham." With her characteristic composure, Mrs. Pargeter navigates from Brotherton Hall to King's Cross and even a Dead Sea mud bath in her quest for justice. In her fourth adventure, Mrs. Pargeter is set to captivate readers with her relentless pursuit of truth and a desire for retribution.
