Faith's Aunt Chat asks Faith to "look into" Hubbard House, an assisted living home, where Chat's dear friend suspected strange goings on. Faith arrives and finds herself a "Pink Lady" (volunteer) in the kitchen to help until the staff recovers from the flu. One of Tom's dearest parishioners dies and is found with his face in Faith's bouillon! From that point on, there are accidents and deaths that have no easy answer to them. Detective John Dunne asks Faith to find out what she can, not knowing what peril she puts herself in until it faces her. There are staff and relatives of staff that all seem a bit "off" and, as Faith learns, each revelation is another piece of the onion peeled. Great twists in this story which I always enjoy. I really like Faith Fairchild as a protagonist - she is not dumb, she is not a doormat, but determined to get to the bottom of things. She is also a very likable person.
