Luckily, her new son-in-law is in the Tresham force, and is the nephew of her friend and collaborator Inspector Cowgill. So, Lois looks forward to having another link to the law at her disposal. But sleuthing suddenly seems a little too close to home when her youngest son invites a mysterious young woman, Akiko, as a guest. Lois isn't the only one who wonders why she refuses to talk about herself or her past. And when a thief waltzes off in the night with the young woman's cello, Lois enlists the inspector to help find the valuable instrument. Before Lois can find the vanishing cello, Akiko goes missing. The discovery that this could be another in a string of murderous musical thefts means Lois must pull out all the stops to find the girl and protect her son, before the music stops permanently.

      By Purser, Ann
       2013., Berkley Prime Crime Call No: MYS Fic Pur   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Lois Meade mystery   Volume: 13Summary Note: "Lois Meade has scrubbed her way through the homes in Long Farnden, and she's not afraid of dusting cobwebs and killing a few bugs. But in her role as amateur sleuth, she's learning that if there's one thing to beware of, it's a snake in the grass... Spring has arrived in Long Farnden and with it, a mysterious infestation. Lois Meade's daughter has found her village store overrun by insects and reptiles. And Lois has no time to stop and smell the roses, if she's to stay one step ahead of the creepy crawlies. As Lois looks into the invasion, she becomes embroiled in yet another "ferretin' case," as her husband would say. Her investigation leads her to Robert Pettinson, a seemingly unhinged zookeeper, and his nephew. The two of them are knee-deep in illegal trade, and they don't take kindly to Lois poking her nose into their business. Lois enlists the help of her faithful cleaner Dot Nimmo and police inspector Hunter Cowgill to discover more about Pettinson and a suspicious death at the zoo. And death is in store for more people, if Lois doesn't put the killer behind bars soon.."-- Provided by publisher.

      -- Suspicion at 7.
      By Purser, Ann
       2014., Berkley Prime Crime Call No: MYS Fic Pur   Edition: 1st edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Lois Meade mystery   Volume: 14Summary Note: "Lois Meade has done enough buffing and polishing over the years with her cleaning business, New Brooms, to know that all that glitters is not gold. So when a bag of costume jewellery is the main clue in a murder, she has a strong suspicion that appearances may be deceiving... After a woman is discovered in the Mill House Hotel, strangled with a silver necklace beside a bag filled with faux silver, gold and pearls, costume jewelry dealer Michael Black seems like the obvious suspect. But Lois knows Michael's wife, who runs a baker's shop near the hotel, and can't believe her husband could be a killer. Plus, Michael has an airtight alibi. Nevertheless, Michael--who prefers to go by Michel, a name as fake as his gems--is no angel. It appears he's running a pyramid scheme, and Lois's mother is getting sucked in. Could the murder have anything to do with his unscrupulous business practices? As Inspector Cowgill and Lois hope the bling may shine a light on the killer, the discovery of a second body on the old waterwheel in the hotel may be grist for the mill in solving the murder--if they can manage to catch the culprit without getting the runaround"--
