Annie Fuller is under pressure to pay the outstanding debt of her late
husband. If she attempted to do that, she would have to give up her
boarding house, which is her main source of income. She also operates
as a medium, providing future prognostications for people looking for
good news.
Annie is shocked when she is confronted by a lawyer who tells her that
one of her clients has committed suicide, and she has been named in his
will. It doesn't make sense to her that he would commit suicide, nor
that he was on the brink of insolvency. She is convinced that he was
murdered and that his missing assets, when discovered will point to the
murderer. She is determined to find the killer, so she hires on as a
maid of the family of the victim.
Annie and the lawyer for the victim's family is sure that the former
maid can provide them with information. However, when the maid turns up
dead, Annie blames herself because she had been looking for her to
provide information. The situation changes dramatically when the
victim's son is taken in by the police based on evidence they find in
his room. Annie is sure that it has been planted, but how to prove it?
Annie's friend and lawyer to the victim, Nate Dawson, discovers some
information concerning the victim's partner and his whereabouts on the
night of the murder. Together, they will solve the crime, but Annie
will have help from unexpected quarters. A good read by author M.
Louisa Locke.
