Slipshod

Life is not going well for Peter McAdam. Nicknamed Slipshod at school for his lackadaisical manner, the name has stuck. His life is drifting along investigating lost dogs, missing persons, unfaithful wives, and husbands until, out of the blue, he is employed to attend a weekend social gathering at Temple Heath House, the country home of Sir Reginald Potter. He is tasked with acting as the boyfriend of Sir Reginald's stunning daughter Rosemary, and discovering whether her father is being led astray by the clairvoyant, Mistress Kusoge. Out of place in a world he has no experience of, Peter finds himself at the centre of murder and intrigue, in the classic whodunnit style, but with a delicious twist.
