Silver and Grey's inquiry service is proving so popular that Constance and Solomon have been working apart on separate cases and missing each other. So, they jump at the opportunity to investigate together in the village of Sutton May, where a spate of anonymous letters is causing problems.
Only then Solomon's brother David turns up with an unlikely tale of killing the same man twice, and suddenly they have two mysteries to solve, involving wicked words and even more wicked actions.
They need to hide David from the law until they can ascertain his innocence - and track down the anonymous letter writer before ill-feeling erupts into violence.
No wonder they have no time for their wedding! Unless, that is, they are ready to take the time.
