Slipshod

Life is not going well for Peter McAdam. Nicknamed Slipshod at school for his lackadaisical manner, the name has stuck. As a private investigator, he specialises in finding lost dogs, missing persons, and investigating infidelity - until he meets Lady Rosemary. She employs him to attend a weekend social gathering at Temple Heath House, the country home of her father Sir Reginald Potter. Peter has to play the role of Rosemary's boyfriend to determine whether her father is being deceived by a clairvoyant. Out of place in a world he has no experience of, Peter finds himself at the centre of murder and intrigue. Slipshod is written in the classic whodunnit style but with a delicious twist.
