The Recycled Citizen — Charlotte MacLeod

Sarah and her husband, Max, have joined with the rest of the Kelling clan to plan a black-tie charity auction: great-uncle Frederick s extensive collection of antique knickknacks and whatnots are to be sold, the proceeds going to fund the Senior Citizens' Recycling Center. All goes smoothly until tea is served, and Cousin Theonia finds a premonition of something nasty in the leaves.

Theonia's forebodings prove correct. Before the big event, one of the Center's members is murdered, and an examination of the will points the finger of suspicion at the Kellings. Adding insult to injury, an irritating reporter appears and a seedy person involved in an old family scandal reappears. To make matters even worse, another corpse pops up in the gardening shed on the night of the charity ball.

Sarah has been planning for the future, but now the present intrudes-who wants to sabotage the Center and pull down the Kelling name? Once again, Sarah and Max are enlisted to ioail out the family.
