A dysfunctional book club must unite when one of their members goes missing in this engaging mystery. The five members of the St. Tredock Book Club clash over everything, from their reading selections to the snacks they enjoy. However, when one member vanishes and a dead body is found at his home, they must set aside their differences to unravel the mystery. Recently relocated to Cornwall, Nova Davies established the book club to impress her new colleagues at the community center, but it has turned into a fiasco. Compounding her troubles, six thousand pounds is stolen from the center during a meeting, jeopardizing her job and the institution itself. Suspicion for the theft quickly falls on Michael, a fellow member, especially after the body is discovered at his residence and he goes missing. While the police assume he has fled, the other members have their own theories. Agatha Christie enthusiast Phyllis is convinced he’s both a murderer and a thief, while secret romance reader Arthur suspects he has eloped. Meanwhile, teenage sci-fi fan Ash believes dark forces are involved. As they search for Michael and the missing money, each member harbors secrets of their own. Inspired by their favorite fictional detectives, they are determined to solve the case and ensure everyone returns home safely.

Dorothy Darling, 77 Jahre alt und misstrauische Eigenbrötlerin, lebt schon fast ihr halbes Leben in Shelley House im beschaulichen Chalcot. Wachsam beobachtet sie das Treiben ihrer Nachbarn, unternimmt regelmäßige Kontrollgänge, führt Buch über Fehltritte und schreibt Beschwerdebriefe. Als die 25-jährige Kat, die nicht nur pinke Haare hat, sondern auch noch ein schrottreifes Auto fährt, (illegalerweise!) bei Dorothys Nachbarn Joseph zur Untermiete einzieht, wittert die alte Dame Ärger. Doch der kommt plötzlich von ganz anderer Seite: Shelley House soll abgerissen und durch ein Gebäude mit Luxusapartments ersetzt werden. Joseph demonstriert vor dem Büro des Vermieters – und wird kurz darauf bewusstlos in seiner Wohnung aufgefunden. Was geht hier vor sich? Und wer kümmert sich jetzt um Josephs Hund? Kat und Dorothy müssen sich verbünden, um den Frieden wiederherzustellen und Shelley House zu retten. Eine scheinbar unmögliche Allianz, denn ebenso wie Dorothy hält auch Kat ihre Mitmenschen gern auf Abstand. Aber vielleicht lohnt es sich ja doch, die eigenen Vorbehalte über Bord zu werfen?
