About this ebook
When a Customs and Revenues Officer on the brink of exposing a huge money-laundering outfit is murdered in Tenerife, there is only one team capable of ensuring Operation Canary Creeper's continuance and success. DJ Smith must use all of her cunning and experience to trap the devious Ambrose Vanheusen; her greatest asset, however, comes in the moth-eaten shape of her Persian cat Gorgonzola, since Vanheusen's one weakness is his love of the breed.Going undercover as a PA for Vanheusen's company Exclusive, retailer of luxury homes and suspected front for darker purposes, DJ is in charge of organising excursions for the prospective purchasers - some are innocently enjoying their holidays, but are others complicit in Vanheusen's schemes. Pompous writer Rudyard Scott, elderly Victoria Knight...something about Millie Prentice doesn't seem to add up, and Deborah is instantly antagonistic towards the arrogant Herbert G. Wainwright III...Disguises, cat-fights and narrow escapes make "Under Suspicion" a fast-paced and funny return to DJ and Gorgonzola on their follow-up mission to No Suspicious Circumstances.
The Mulgray Twins
From the moment that, as premature twins, they were placed end to end beside a radiator in an Edinburgh nursing home, Helen and Mornay Mulgray have lived together. The identical twins have also pursued an identical career path, and after retiring from teaching, they now live and write together. They also love to travel when they are not plotting and writing DJ Smith mysteries at home in Edinburgh.

Reviews for Under Suspicion
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The basic idea of a Revenue & Customs agent with an assistant 'sniffer-cat' (with attitude) is an amusing concept. Regretfully the writing just doesn't come up to scratch. The authors of this series (of which this is number two) are identical twins, Helen and Morna Mulgray and one wonders who wrote what in these rather pedestrian stories. The cat,Gorgonzola,is the best character,but appears too seldom. On the other hand the agent D.J. Smith is a cypher,with no outstanding features at all. Tenerife is the setting for the story,which concerns money-laundering and a most uninteresting villain.
