Summary: From back of book
Review: Death and the Spinster\Picturesque Nettleton was a typical English country village- with Nosy Parkers peeking through every curtained window and secrets behind every cottage door. Now Nettleton had a murder. But why would anyone wish to kill mousy spinster Carrie Birch, a woman who cleaned other people's houses by day and cared for her nasty invalid mother by night?

Detective Luke Thanet
When Britain's Inspector Luke Thanet snooped into Carrie's apparently loveless life , he soon found that Carrie had possessed a peculiar and disturbing habit:dicovering what her neighbors wanted to hide..whether it was hanky-panky in the vicarage, tippling in a politician's parlor, or adultery in a perfect marriage. Innocent though Carrie may have been, nearly everyone in Nettleton had a good reason to dislike her- but good enough to kill her? Before the baffling case was solved, Inspector Thanet learned some surprising lessons in the secretive town- lessons about love and hate and life and death that struck very close to home.
