Sheila Malory is less than thrilled when her loathsome
cousin Bernard comes to Taviscombe looking for information
to complete his family tree. After all, she's got better
things to do than listen to Bernard's pompous genealogical
lectures and watch him berate his mousy wife. But when
Bernard dies suddenly in his rented cottage, it's more
than family obligation that keeps Mrs. Malory on the case.
Someone wanted Bernard out of the way, and with all the
dirt he was digging up on the family, the killer could be
more than kin...and less than kind.
