Aunt Bessie solves murders with alarming regularity. Elizabeth Cubbon, known as Bessie to nearly everyone, has been caught up in far too many murder investigations lately. When a friend from the UK, police inspector Andrew Cheatham, comes to visit, she can't help but take an interest in a cold case he mentions, however. Aunt Bessie solves his case, or at least presents him with an intriguing new avenue to investigate. Andrew is excited about the possible solution to the thirty-year-old case, but he's also eager to spend some time working on a cold case that is puzzling Inspector John Rockwell. Can Aunt Bessie solve both cases and still find time to show Andrew around the island she loves?
