A "hugely entertaining" English village mystery with "diverting, unexpected twists" (Booklist).

Mrs. Edith Rossiter is a rich matron who also has a wealth of greedy relatives—a cold-blooded daughter, a wastrel son, and a desperate sister. But because she is in excellent health, none of them can hope to inherit anytime soon . . .

So when Edith vanishes from Taviscombe's finest nursing home, the police suspect the worst. Mrs. Rossiter was a close friend of Mrs. Sheila Malory, who as usual applies her skills as an amateur detective to delve into the lives of the missing woman and her hopeful heirs. Was Edith addicted to sleeping pills? What did the mysterious couple seen in Edith's company want from her? The truth will be stranger and more startling than even Mrs. Malory could have possibly imagined.

"A wonderful heroine." —St. Petersburg Times

"Anglophiles will delight in the authentically British Mrs. Malory." —Booklist
