CID Inspector John Rockwell asks Bessie Cubbon, a longtime resident of the village of Laxey where she's known to just about everyone as "Aunt Bessie," to help him find the perfect house in the village. What they find in one of the bedrooms of the last house they visit isn't what either of them was expecting.

Aunt Bessie goes to look at furniture with John as well.

Again, they find the unexpected, this time in a furniture storage unit in Jurby. But are the two cases, separated by thirty years, connected?

Aunt Bessie goes to great lengths to try to figure out what's happening before anyone else goes missing or ends up dead.

This is book seven in the Isle of Man Cozy Mystery Series.
