When Dr. Cowley, the greedy local physician of Taviscombe,
plans to turn a prime ocenaside building, occupied by the
very elderly Miss Graham, into a profitable nursing home,
Mrs. Malory becomes worried about the fate of her dear
friend. What will happen to the poor soul if she refuses
to move?
As Mrs. Malory fears, the answer is most distressing: poor
Miss Graham is cruelly, unkindly, and most diabolically
killed with her favorite dessert. Of course, it appears
that Dr. Cowley must have done it—except that he has an
ironclad alibi. Now Mrs. Malory is snooping in earnest,
hoping her search will lead her to intriguing revelations:
about the physician with ambition, about a weak-willed
nephew and his pushy wife, about a pretty neighbor of
questionable virtue, and about a very large sum of money.
Of course, Mrs. Malory’s persistent inquiries may also get
her killed.
