Mrs Pargeter's Patio

When widow Mrs Pargeter finds a human skull with a neat hole in the middle of its forehead under her patio, she starts investigating the curious find. It was definitely a murder, but who is the mysterious victim? And more importantly, who put the body under Mrs Pargeter's patio? Surely this has nothing to do with her late husband Mr Pargeter . . .
