Wealthy socialite Freda Spencer has never been one to shy away from controversey. As chairman of the Managemant committee of the Brunswick Lodge where Sheila Malory works, she is a regular subject of local gossip...and more than a little local animosity. Lately she has been seen making the rounds with a much younger man whom everyone believes is in it only for the money. Complicating things is the appearance of an old flame of Freda's who arrives for a school reunion. So when the dowager turns up dead, Sheila has a whole slew of suspects to scrutinize!
