Lois Meade, cleaner and part-time sleuth, is restless. It is some time since she helped out her old admirer and adversary, Chief Inspector Hunter Cowgill, and she misses the excitement. So she is delighted when the call comes from Cowgill asking her for help once more. She is plunged into a web of mystery, bigotry and intrigue surrounding the randy new choirmaster, young Sandy Mackerras, and the vicar, who's clearly got something to hide. There is danger for Lois, her family, and her new cleaner recruit - innocent, romantic Sharon Miller. But is she really as innocent as she seems?
