"Fear on Friday" is Ann Purser's fifth Lois Mead mystery. There is a murder is this novel but it takes a while to set the stage for this one because first we become privy to a web of adultery, deceit, and sex for sale. By the time we get to the murder, I find myself happy about who the victim turns out to be.
Lois Mead and her business, "New Brooms," has opened a second office in the neighboring town of Tresham and the new shop gives them a view to customers coming and going from a shop across the street. Lois is surprised to see Chief Inspector Hunter Cowgill also visiting this business of a dubious nature. However, all becomes clear when he asks her to do a little snooping for him. She's reluctant but eventually agrees and ends up in the thick of the murder investigation and in danger herself. I found some black humor in this one which actually I enjoyed. A fun read -- pazt.
