Aunt Bessie Knows Diana Xarissa

Aunt Bessie knows she's in for a long evening when she joins her friends to celebrate New Year's Eve. In Elizabeth Cubbon's experience, New Year's Eve parties are never as fun as they ought to be. When she's invited to share the night with her new neighbours at Thie yn Traie, she reluctantly agrees, in spite of her misgivings. Aunt Bessie knows that gorgeous redhead, Gennifer Carter-Maxwell is drunk and slightly out of control. But when Gennifer starts flirting with Hugh Watterson, the young police constable who is Bessie's friend, Gennifer manages to upset Hugh's girlfriend, Grace. By the time midnight arrives, Bessie is more than ready to head for home, but first she agrees to join in the search for the now missing Gennifer. Aunt Bessie knows that Hugh Watterson didn't kill anyone. And she's certain that his supervisor, John Rockwell, knows it too. Unfortunately, it's Inspector Anna Lambert heading up this particular investigation. As evidence against Hugh seems to be piling up fast, Bessie knows she's going to have to do some detective work of her own. This is book eleven in the Isle of Man Cozy Mystery Series.
