Retired Chief Superintendent Beeston is notably upset by their enquiries, and when another body turns up Harry is convinced the Beeston clan is involved - but how, exactly? Can Harry Love repeat her previous success with the scarf murder case? And can Ed take any comfort at all when she finally agrees to a Christmas Eve date?
