During the first weekend the hotel opened, Penman, one of the guests is found dead. When Detective Chief Inspector Nick Connor investigates, he suspects foul play. An autopsy is performed which determines the guest was killed by drinking a herbal tea laced with the deadly herb, cowbane. The tea was especially prepared for Kate's consumption. Connor determines that Penmar's death was accidental; that Kate was the intended victim. It remains to discover who would want to kill her. Kate's deceased husband, Stephen,
had promised to will the estate to his nephew, Charles, and niece, Clarissa,
but suddenly changed his will in Kate's favor. Charles, a cold and calculating
man, is resentful of this. He has had disastrous financial failures, which
necessitate his selling his estate, Folly. The interested hotel chain
will purchase Connor eliminates all concerned except Charles. It becomes his job to gain evidence which will convict him. Nick and Kate become romantically attracted, but Nick has ambiguous feelings since he has had unfortunate experiences with women in the past. This is a lighthearted romantic suspense story: the suspense depending on whether Charles will be successful or whether Nick will be able to stalemate him. The characters are all real and
human; the romance beguiling. This is a quick and pleasant read.
