"The entire village of Taviscombe is sent reeling when Sidney Middleton, a popular and respected pillar of the community, has a tragic accident. However, it soon becomes apparent that his death was a most deliberate act. How could someone so likable have any enemies, especially one driven to kill? Mrs. Malory is dead set on finding out. But what she uncovers about Middleton could shock a lightning bolt. The seemingly respectable man had dark, even deadly, secrets. And suddenly Mrs. Malory's looking at everyone through suspicion-tinted glasses."--Page 4 of cover.
