Find a killer, thats what! Word arrives that the sisters great aunt, Madeleine Blackbird, has died in a volcanic eruption on an Indonesian island and left her fabulous country estate, worth millions, to the three of them. But when the Blackbird sisters show up toclaim their windfall, they find the house in a state ofdisheartening decay and all of Madeleines to-die-for treasures gone. Worse, the mansion has been hiding a grisly secret: the body of a woman who died there many years ago. All the evidence points to a high society murder...
Noras special bond with flamboyant Aunt Madeleine compels her to seek out the truth. With her aunts amorous stepson dogging her footsteps, her unscrupulous lawyer acting like a skunk, and her devoted housekeeper not to be found, Noras investigation is going nowhere. Good thing Micks close by to offer Nora distractions both dark and delightful. And, as ever, her irrepressible sisters provide some unexpected... and highly unorthodox... assistance when she most needs it.
