From Publishers Weekly
In this sprightly mystery debut, set in an English village, tension
between the impoverished gentry and the newly rich leads to murder.
Actor, TV personality and parvenu Larry Aitken, who has recently
bought the Manor House in the fictional South Harptree, near Bath,
believes the right to run things--including the local church--is part
of his purchase. The fatal poisoning of Aitken's chief local detractor
during a church-related meeting in the Manor brings deep hostility
into the open. Targeted by a hate-mail campaign, Aitken hires young
Bath private investigator Max Shepard to find out who is responsible.
With the help of American widow Elizabeth Blair, who sells patchwork
quilts in a shop beneath his office, Max sets out to find the
womanizing Aitken's enemies--and they are many, including
ex-mistresses and the former owners of the Manor. Another murder and
Elizabeth's sharp-eyed forays into village society add interest to the
credible plot as Brown skewers social foibles and the delusions of the
pretentious.

I'm not sure if this is the NG or not but somebody, somewhere, awhile ago,
mentioned a series of novels written about some gal who hauls her sewing
machine around with her solving mysteries or something like that. I wrote
down the author to check out book stores and now I can't find where I made
the note........can anyone help?
