A Markham Sisters Collection - IJKL Diana Xarissa

The Irwin Case: Guests at Doveby House don't usually pay by credit card, but when one tries and his card is refused, Janet Markham can't help but wonder if there's something more going on that a simple glitch in the credit card machine. Can Janet work out what links the credit card cases together? Will she be able to help Constable Robert Parsons solve the case or just get in his way? Who was Alberta Montgomery? And why were boxes of her letters and books of poetry left in the carriage house?

The Jackson Case: When their neighbour, Stuart, asks for a simple favour, Janet and Joan Markham can't refuse. They're happy to let the man use their bed and breakfast, Doveby House, for a planning meeting. Can the sisters help Stuart put together a successful fundraiser? Can Janet get her questions about Alberta answered? Is there something criminal going on behind the scenes, and is it possible that someone from Doveby Dale is part of the conspiracy?

The Kingston Case: Back from their holiday on the Isle of Man, Janet and Joan Markham are ready to reopen the bed and breakfast to guests. Janet is surprised to learn that one of the guests who will be arriving soon is William Chalmers's former wife, Alice. But William, who runs a local antique shop, has bigger problems than that. He's been receiving anonymous letters, telling him to leave Doveby Dale. Can Janet deal with American visitors and Alice Chalmers at the same time and help William as well?

The Lawley Case: Janet Markham is starting to feel almost settled at the bed and breakfast she owns with her sister, Joan. When their neighbour and gardener, Stuart, tells Janet that he thinks someone might be growing plants for illegal drug manufacturing in Doveby Dale, Janet insists that they go straight to the police. Stuart agrees, but only if they visit the farmer he believes may be providing the land for the operation first. Can Janet work out what Martin's stepson is really up to? Can Aggie, Janet's clever kitten, help identify the criminals? And can Janet and Joan deal with their most difficult guests yet?
