Marchfield Square was meant to be a haven from the outside world. A place for those who need somewhere safe from their pasts, or who could otherwise not afford to stay in the city they call home. That was Celeste Van Duren's plan. One of her tenants being murdered in his own kitchen, and the police trying to pin it on his long-suffering wife, was not. So Celeste does what anyone with a lot of money, a strong sense of justice and a bad hip would do: she recruits some help to track down the real murderer.

Ein rätselhafter Mord und ein Haus voller Verdächtiger Marchfield Square . Wie eine Oase im Herzen der Großstadt verströmt die elegante Londoner Wohnanlage das Gefühl von Behaglichkeit und Sicherheit. Bis zu jenem Tag, als Richard Glead, einer der Bewohner, erschossen in seiner Küche aufgefunden wird. Der gewaltsame Todesfall veranlasst die energische Vermieterin Celeste van Duren zu sofortigem Handeln. Ein Mord in ihrem Haus stört den Ordnungssinn der vornehmen alten Dame empfindlich.

Every Thursday at midday Audrey Brooks cleans the Petrov house. Until the morning she finds a corpse in the back bedroom, the pristine walls and floor covered in blood, and flees the house in panic. Fifteen minutes later, the police arrive... and find nothing. No body. No blood. With no victim, the police are convinced there was no murder, but Audrey knows better.
