Ivy Beasley, the beloved cantankerous spinster from the Lois Meade mysteries, has found a silver lining in her golden years as an amateur sleuth. She teams up with Gus, a mysterious newcomer to the small English village of Barrington who can't resist a little excitement even as he strives to keep his past secret, and her own cousin - a widow with time on her hands and money in her purse. Together they're determined to solve the murder of Gus's elderly neighbour.
