Margot Arnold Books Overview

The Cape Cod Caper

When a mutilated corpse is found in a cranberry bog on the Dimola estate, Penelope Spring is summoned to the Cape by Zeb Grange, an old flame. But by the time she arrives, an attempt on Zeb’s life has been made, leaving him in a coma. As Penny’s suspicions gradually point to the wealthy Dimola clan, her colleague Toby Glendower begins to probe into the family’s past in Italy. There is another murder, and Penny resolves to set a trap for her prime suspect, using herself as bait. But what Toby uncovers sends him racing back, fearful that Penny is making a disastrous mistake maybe her last.

Death of a Voodoo Doll

John Everett’s conservative Boston publishing house has agreed to print a history of Mardi Gras. But when the author, a scion of one of the oldest and richest families of Creole aristocracy begins to receive doom laden letters, Penny and Sir Toby are called upon to investigate.

Death on the Dragon’s Tongue

The French government plans to locate a nuclear reactor on the site of a prehistoric burial monument on the Brittany Coast. Plans are interrupted when an official is murdered in circumstances that bear unmistakable signs of witchcraft.

Lament for a Lady Laird

Either the old Scottish castle is haunted, or someone is trying to scare the wits out of Heather Macdonell. The castle echoes with eerie sounds Heather is able to ease her mind about at least, until the first murder occurs.

The Cape Cod Conundrum

Back from Rome, their ninth frantic escapade mercifully ended, Penny and Sir Toby decide it’s high time for a rest. When they get the chance to return to Cape Cod, the scene of their second misadventure, they can’t resist. But they soon have a dead body on their hands, and a puzzle within a puzzle to decipher as well.

The Midas Murders

A Penny Spring and Sir Toby Glendower Mystery: ‘Arnold serves up an ingenious plot together with a peek at the lifestyles of the rich and famous.’ BooklistAmerican anthropologist Penny Spring and British archaeologist Sir Toby Glendower have received a tantalizing invitation. Would they join old friend Jules Lefau on a three week cruise among the Greek islands? Toby is wary of any invitation from the wily Lefau, but Penny sets off eagerly, children and grandchildren in tow. Arriving, the Springs find an astonishing assemblage of multimillionaires, entire dynasties and paramours included. Soon, however, Penny senses a dark purpose behind the festivities, especially following the sudden, mysterious death of patriarch Demetrios. Then Demetrios’s heir is found murdered, his body floating in a swimming pool. Toby, summoned from Oxford, arrives in the Mediterranean just as another attempt on the life of an heir takes place. Clearly, someone is out to eradicate an entire clan, and only Penny and Sir Toby have the wits to pursue a perilous investigation to its alarming conclusion. ‘A new Margot Arnold mystery is always a pleasure,’ writes the Chicago Sun Times. ‘She should be better known, particularly since her mysteries are often compared to those of the late Ngaio Marsh.’
