Sweet, very rich Mrs. Edith Rossiter would be better off deadโfor 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 Taviscombeโs finest nursing home untilโฆ without leaving a trace, she suddenly vanishes.
With no evidence of foul play, Mrs. Sheila Malory has only suspicions about her old friendโs fate. She hears nursing home gossip about Edithโs 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 windowโs secrets. And there Mrs. Malory makes a discovery thatโin the case of Edith at leastโfamily and friends would find shockingโฆexcept for those who firmly believe there is life after death.
