It's springtime, and Gwinny is wrestling with the question of what to do with her house. To take her mind off things she accepts an invitation to a beautiful country retreat near Cambridge for the 'Female Century', a gathering of 100 business women and influential speakers.





Gwinny isn't one of them, though. Instead, she's been hired to look after Nelly, the organiser's Staffordshire Bull Terrier, who's currently part of a divorce-based tug-of-war.





When the keynote speaker is found dead, Gwinny suspects foul play and a connection to a historical death in the same house. But this weekend there'll be more than one body in the spotlight, and it's up to Gwinny to stop the killing spree before it's too late.
