"Found Guilty At Five" is Ann Purser's 12th book in the Lois Meade Mystery series and the story begins with a wedding. Lois' daughter is marrying the nephew of Inspector Cowgill making them family.
Jamie, the Meade's youngest son, is home for the wedding and has brought a friend who performs musically with him, Akiko. Akiko's cello appears to be safely locked up in Jamie's car while they're staying with his parents until it is stolen one night. Since it has great value, Inspector Cowgill is called in to investigate.
The tale goes beyond the theft of a cello, though, when Akiko is kidnapped and her father is left for dead by one of his employees who later ends up dead himself. Jamie and Lois work in cooperation with Inspector Cowgill (and at times without his cooperation) as well as with the assistance of the former lady of the manor, Mrs. Tollervey-Jones. The plot is an interesting one that kept me guessing at times as to who were villains and who were not! pazt
