Third of the Alderley series. Once again a disparate group of people spend the weekend at Alderley, the country
mansion of the Earl of Burford, and once again it leads to murder. This time it's for the funeral and will-reading
of an elderly relative who has asked to be buried at Alderley. The second wife of Florrie's long-dead son feels
entitled to the major share of the money after bringing up her orphaned stepdaughters. When she gets a deliberately
insulting pittance, she accuses the others of having poisoned the old lady's mind against her -- and threatens to
expose everyone's embarrassing secrets in revenge. It's no great surprise when she's killed during the night, and
once again it's up to Chief Inspector Wilkins to sift through the many clues and motives on offer.
