Eleanor Trewynn is a recently retired widow who has moved
to
the small village of Port Mabyn in Cornwall. Neither frail
nor retiring, after a lifetime of traveling the world,
she's ready for an uneventful life iwth her dog and friends
in this quiet town. Unfortunately, excitement seems to
happen around her.
Her friend and neighbor, artist Nick Gresham, returns from
a trip only to find several of his painting slashed,
reportedly by rival local artist Geoffrey Clarke. When Nick
goes to have it out with him, with Eleanor in tow, they
find Clark's body in his studio, fatally stabbed in the
back. Accused of the crime, Nick ends up in jail, while
Detective Inspector Scumble and DS Megan Pencarrow,
Eleanor's niece, investigate. But Eleanor isn't leaving
anything to chance-she starts doing a little investigating
of her own, and soon learns that Nick is far from the only
one with a compelling motive for murder.
