A lack of crime wouldn’t normally be the cause for concern for most people, but not for Edith Elliott. With nothing to occupy her mind, she struggles to cope with the boring humdrum of village life in Hinklebury. So, when she spots an advertisement in the local paper calling for new members to join the Golden Gatherers pensioner group in a neighbouring village, Edith jumps at the chance.
Attending her first meeting, Edith can’t shake the sensation that something is wrong within the small group as an unseen tension fizzles in the air. Her concerns are realised when, at the next meeting, the wine is spiked with laudanum, resulting in the deaths of several members.
But is the killer finished, or has their murderous campaign only just begun? With so many murders to investigate, can Edith unravel it all before it’s too late? Or is it just one murder too many?
