- Synopsis
- This novel is the eighth one in the Mrs. Malory Mystery series. Mrs. Sheila Malory is an English widow in her late sixties. A friend of her late husband, Graham Percy comes to visit Sheila at her home. Graham is boring, critical, demanding, and controlling. For instance, even though he is only a visitor, he insists that he eat breakfast after he returns from his daily morning walks. Because of these negative qualities, none of his "so-called" friends, including Sheila's late husband, like him. However, because Graham was a so-called friend of her husband, Sheila feels that she must respect Graham and shows hospitality toward him. On one of Graham's daily morning walks, he does not return on schedule to eat his breakfast. Because Sheila is concerned, she searches for him and finds Graham stabbed to death. Since Graham had stayed at her house plus the fact that she is a "natural-born" detective, the rest of the plot resolves around her search and discovery of the murderer. Through this process, she learns about Graham's dark and evil side. Further, by interviewing those associated with Graham, Sheila learns also about their personalities, possible motives for the murder, and how they respond and cope with Graham's malevolent influence. The plot is simple and the clues necessary to solve the mystery of Graham's death are readily apparent.
