Valued for Murder

An antiques TV show.  A dead celebrity expert. Can a shy amateur sleuth step into the lime-light and expose a murderer?

Dotty Sayers is enjoying her job in a Cotswold auction house.  When she's offered a place on an antiques TV show, she nervously agrees to a makeover and is surprised by the admiring glances she receives.  But working at an historic country hotel, she realises the show can't go on when, at the bottom of the circular staircase, one of the experts is found dead.

Dotty can't help wondering if the death was accidental or if someone else was involved.  She promises to stay in the background and leave the investigation to the police, but this amateur detective can't help uncovering clues.  When she returns from viewing a priceless sculpture, and finds her British blue cat missing, she knows she'll struggle to keep the show on the road.

Can Dotty emerge from behind the scenes and identify the killer?
