In this homage to Rear Window, Helen Binney breaks her wrist, and is unable to use her cane-wielding hand, effectively rendering her wheelchair-bound. With her husband out of town for a few days, she checks herself into the Wharton B&B where she hopes to sleep through the discomfort and increased disability. But in the middle of the first night, still drowsy and under the influence of painkillers, she witnesses a woman injuring her ankle during a scuffle with another guest, and the two of them heading for the hospital.
Helen's friends think it was a dream or possibly a hallucination due to the pain meds, and she's initially inclined to agree with them. But what if it had really happened? Where was the couple now? And how can Helen convince anyone to take her seriously when after just one glance at the brand new splint on her wrist, they all assume she's on mind-altering painkillers?
Helen is determined to get answers, despite having to investigate with one hand tied behind her back, almost literally. If push comes to shove, she can't even stand solidly on her own two feet. But it's becoming more and more clear that she did indeed witness something nefarious, but with no way to prove it, and she's starting to wish it had all been just a Delusion of Death.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
