Scandal At Six (Lois Meade Mystery)
“The police were still circling like vultures, every day turning up with some trumped-up reason to inspect everything, from the house to the zoo to the gardener’s shed. Up to now, and with Justin’s help, he had managed to conceal animals which could be construed as illegally obtained straight from the wild. He now concentrated on small creatures that were easy to hide, and so far none had been visible to nosy policemen. All such animals he bought for resale, and mostly on commission, with regula...r customers around the country.
But now there were other people bothering him. Dot Nimmo, for one. It had probably been a mistake employing her, knowing she worked for the celebrated Lois Meade, with the latter’s close association with Inspector Cowgill. Dottie was always nosing around, asking about the locked room and announcing that she intended to turn out the cupboards in his office. “Full of rubbish,” she had said. Maybe she would call it rubbish, but those locked cupboards were full of records that were highly incriminating rubbish, going back years.MoreLess
