In her huge, isolated, empty house, beautiful and selfish Lisa Harcourt was murdered immediately following the announcement of her engagement to wealthy Mr. Gessington. Many people hated her, for good cause: — There was Harriet Warry, whose twin brother David was a rejected, humiliated suitor. — There was Harriet's husband Mark, a blatant victim of Lisa's magic There was John Potter, Lisa's half-brother, whose strong sense of family found her way of life intolerable. There were Miss Budgeon, the village "character," who knew too much about Lisa; and Amy Dimmick, Lisa's maid, a firm believer in self-preservation. And what about her quiet, shy ex-husband? Where did he fit into this sordid jigsaw of deep and violent passions? A lot of good suspects for Inspector Septimus Finch!
