The Squire's Lodge Murders — David W. Robinson

The Lazy Luncheonette is in mourning for Joe. Even the draymen, who suffered the worst of his acid tongue, are in bereavement for the missing proprietor of their favourite café. While the police are hot on the trail of his killer, Sheila's nephew, Detective Inspector Howard Riley of Cambridge CID, arrives in Sanford with the sad news that his elderly mother has passed away in the Squire's Lodge Care Home.

Complications arise when Howard learns that his mother willed her estate to Squire's Lodge in lieu of care fees… which have already been paid.

When the members of the consortium which owns Squire's Lodge are murdered one by one, suspicion falls on the senior director, Ward Finch. Is he really murdering his colleagues for his personal financial gain? Or is there someone else lurking in the background, bearing a grudge against the consortium?

Taking on the investigative mantle of the late, lamented, Joe, Sheila and Brenda turn their attention to the murders, and find themselves followed wherever they go. Does Chad Milner have their welfare in mind, or is he threatening them?

They'll need their wits about them, and the help of the Sanford 3rd Age Club if they're to help solve…
