While Frank and Sarah are on an extended honeymoon in Europe, Maeve decides to help a woman whose daughter was just arrested for murder. Una O'Neill married wealthy Randolph Pollock and moved to a large home in Harlem. Now the servants have found Mr. Pollock dad in the study, his wife cradling his body. The police think this is an open and shut case, but Maeve believes Una may have not killed her husband. With the help of Mr. and Mrs. Decker along with Police Officer Gino Donatelli, Maeve sets out to prove that Mrs. Pollock is innocent.

Without Frank and Sarah leading the case, the secondary characters step up to help a woman who has been accused of the murder of her husband. I enjoyed this story, mostly because of the involvement of Felix & Elizabeth Decker. Mrs. Decker has been involved with some earlier cases and thinks her husband has no knowledge of it. Well, Felix is very aware of what his wife has been up to. Now that he has seen what draws her to these cases, he jumps in with both feet. My rating: 4 Stars.
