"The atmosphere is perfect. The plot delectable." Philadelphia Daily News

On her assignment as a private nurse to Lady Bellamy, Agnes Carmichael finds that beneath the elegant veneer of the grand mansion, there might be more than a few skeletons in the closet...

With a host of greedy grandchildren sharing the house with her, Carmichael takes up her old role of nurse-investigator. But caring for the old lady while discovering the identity of a criminal is easier said than done - especially when a question of paternity and a gruesome car accident force Agnes into the role of both judge and liberator.
