Aunt Bessie Solves
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?
Aunt Bessie Tries
Aunt Bessie tries to help her friends.
After Grace Watterson's baby shower, Elizabeth Cubbon, known as Bessie to nearly everyone, gets stopped by one of the party guests. Lora White is worried that someone is trying to kill her.
Aunt Bessie tries to persuade Lora to talk to the police.
The problem is, Lora isn't sure whether someone is trying to kill her or not. After hearing Lora's story, Bessie isn't certain, either. Besides, Lora doesn't want to get any of her friends or family members into any trouble.
Aunt Bessie tries to work out who might be trying to hurt Lora.
She talks to the woman's family members and neighbours, but quickly finds herself being drawn more and more deeply into Lora's life.
Can Bessie help Lora work out what's happening? Is someone truly trying to kill Lora, or does the woman simply have an overactive imagination? Is it possible that Lora is creating the incidents herself for some reason? Will Bessie be sorry that she tried to help?
Aunt Bessie Understands
Aunt Bessie understands why Hugh is so worried about his wife, Grace.
She's about to have their first child, and Hugh doesn't want her left alone in case she goes into labour. Bessie is happy to agree to spend an afternoon with the woman.
Aunt Bessie understands when Hugh, exhausted from a long day that culminated in the arrival of his child, forgets to drop Bessie off at her cottage before driving back to his own home.
Knowing that he's not in any condition to drive anywhere, she insists that they walk to her cottage, Treoghe Bwaane.
Aunt Bessie understands that the holiday cottages they walk past are all unoccupied during the winter months.
With Christmas just a few weeks away, there shouldn't be lights on inside any of them. When she and Hugh stumble across a dead body in one of them, Bessie understands that she's right in the middle of yet another murder investigation.
