So, Sarah, now widowed and impoverished through the activities of her now dead wicked mother-in-law and her wimpy son, Sarah's husband, has turned the family mansion into a boarding house - and now her boarders are being murdered. Fortunately, the intrepid art expert Max Bittersohn has managed to secure a room in the Kelling boardinghouse.
Even as a landlady/hostess/cook/chief bottlewasher, Sarah is finding life generally easier than under the despotic rule of her mother-in-law. The worthless Edith is dismissed and Mariposa, who made an appearance or two in the first book in the series, has taken over as housekeeper and general assistant and her boyfriend, an actor who is between jobs, is "acting" as butler. He is a great admirer of Hudson from the BBC series "Upstairs, Downstairs."
