Lion in the Cellar (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781631943720)

Sukie's family does have a certain notoriety. Mama, for example, is locked up with the loonies after some experiments with arson, while Grandmama is immortalized in wax as part of Madame Tussauds "Chamber of Horrors" exhibit--there had been an episode with an axe and some irritating neighbors. Uncle George, by contrast, goes all wobbly at the merest hint of blood, so he tends to opt for strangulation. And so forth... All things considered, Sukie's husband might reasonably be excused for giving her a certain side-eye, when nice Mr. Bentley turns up dead. Sukie, after all, while a lovely person with a charming smile, is known to lie with quite breathtaking regularity.
