Hodgkiss Mysteries The Hodgkiss Mysteries: Hodgkiss and the English Visitor and Other Stories, Book XXI, (Paperback)

Hodgkiss doesn't miss a trick. Three new adventures of that cranky, obnoxious, insufferable but remarkably observant and astute senior citizen.

When Ann Farley stops receiving emails from her boy friend who has travelled to Australia she decides to follow and investigate. With Hodgkiss' help they uncover a dark pathway of murder and fraud before the killers are brought to book.

When Donald begins investigating the death of a man found in a locked room he immediately assumes it is suicide. But Hodgkiss knows the man's evil past and realises there are those who would like to see him dead. To convince Donald he must demonstrate how murder could have been done.

Even in death Hodgkiss manages to defeat the plans of greedy members of Kanundda Council who have persuaded a government minister to aid and abet them in their latest massive scam. Hodgkiss finds a way to set the plotters at each other's throat and the scam falls apart. Tragically Hodgkiss is not there to celebrate his success
