A delightfully witty British cozy mystery, Mrs Pargeter's Point of Honour chronicles the irrepressible Melita Pargeter as she embarks on a caper to recover a collection of stolen paintings and return them to their rightful owners — a mission she considers a matter of personal integrity in honor of her late, roguishly well-connected husband. Simon Brett's beloved series heroine navigates a colorful underworld of forgers, fences, and old criminal associates with charm, sharp wit, and an unshakeable moral code that is entirely her own. The novel balances breezy humor with a cleverly constructed plot, delivering the kind of light-touch suspense that Brett's fans have come to adore. Warm, funny, and thoroughly entertaining, it illustrates why Mrs. Pargeter stands as one of the most endearing and unconventional amateur sleuths in British crime fiction.
