A tragic death. A reluctant sleuth. A childhood prank that went horribly wrong. When Flora Lively inherits her father's business she's totally out of her depth. Shakers Removals is in trouble, and manager Marshall isn't helping one bit - the ex-pat American delights only in winding her up. But Flora has other things on her mind, like Joy: surrogate grandmother and resident of the Maples Retirement Village. When Joy's pet pug has a brush with death, Flora is pulled into a series of bizarre incidents at the Maples, where fear is starting to take hold. Could harmless old Mr Felix really be the boy from Joy's past, determined to exact his revenge, or is it Joy's guilty mind playing tricks on her? And what about the Captain's death? Accidents happen, even to the most careful people, but Flora's not convinced the old man simply fell down the stairs ... Playing detective seemed like a good idea at first, but before long Flora realises the stakes are far higher than either she or Joy imagined. Full of warmth and humour, this gripping puzzle will appeal to fans of M. C. Beaton and Edie Clare.
