Claire Malloy runs a bookstore in the normally quiet college town of Farberville, Arkansasโan enterprise which provides the verging-on-meager living for her and her deeply sarcastic teenage daughter Caron. So when emergency work forces Claire and Caron to abandon their apartment for a few weeks, they are in no financial position to put themselves up in style and Claire is thrilled to accept a customerโs offer to let them stay at her well-stocked, well-equipped palatial home while she is traveling.
Of course, nothing is ever that easy. No sooner do Claire and Caron ensconce themselves than disquieting events start to occurโdubious people show up looking for the โtravelingโ owner of the house; the owner herself turns out not to be who she claimed and is now seemingly on the run; and a dead body keeps turning upโand subsequently disappearingโaround the grounds of the house.
