Sweet, very rich Mrs. Edith Rossiter would be better off deadβfor a surprising number of people. Her greedy daughter covets her fortune. Her son wants large sums of cash. And the family of her gravely ill sister would get a fat windfall if Edith should expire first. Edith, however, is alive and well in Taviscombeβs finest nursing home untilβ¦ without leaving a trace, she suddenly vanishes.
With no evidence of foul play, Mrs. Sheila Malory has only suspicions about her old friendβs fate. She hears nursing home gossip about Edithβs stash of sleeping pills, about an argument, about the appearance of a mysterious man and woman, so she uses her skills as an amateur sleuth to nose around the windowβs secrets. And there Mrs. Malory makes a discovery thatβin the case of Edith at leastβfamily and friends would find shockingβ¦except for those who firmly believe there is life after death.
