The only things retired police officer, Alex Simpson wants when he comes to the Kinging Guest Lodge are delicious home-cooked meals and a serene environment. He is recovering from typhoid, after all.

The last thing he expects is to be caught up in a murder investigation.

But that's exactly what happens when vivacious man-eater, Maria Marshall is found in her room with a knife sticking out of her chest.

And Alex becomes one in the gallery of suspects living at the guesthouse, who could have done it.

Also suspected are an amateur astronomer who's also a peeping Tom, a tortured artist desperately in love with Maria, an ebullient preacher, the guesthouse owner, his long-suffering wife, and a faded sports hero cum recovering drug addict.

There's also Mrs. Marshall, Maria's own mother!

With her razor sharp wit, acerbic tongue and sharp knitting needles, wheelchair-bound Mrs. Marshall always provokes a reaction.
