Beware of the Dog

Nice old Helen Lovelace has passed on to her just reward, so it’s no surprise that her two young heirs have arrived to pick up the tasty inheritance they expect to split. What is perhaps surprising is that another death immediately follows their arrival: one heir is murdered in her bed, and her cousin, Nicholas, looks a good bet for having pulled the trigger. Mrs. Lovelace’s housekeeper, however, has long had a soft spot for Nicholas, and she implores a neighbor—Virginia Freer—to poke around for another suspect. Virginia, happy to help, calls in a secret weapon... Her former husband, Felix, may be a bounder, a cad, a liar, and a thief, but he does have a knack for finding bad guys.
