Klappentext No such thing as a restful retirement! Eleanor Trewynn, recently widowed, returns home from years of working overseas to the village of Port Maybn in Cornwall. Even though she is retired she still plans to continue her charity work, running a shop from the ground floor of her house. As she opens up one morning she finds both a particularly valuable donation and a corpse stuffed into the storeroom.
