March 3, 1933, the day before Franklin Roosevelt's inauguration. Siblings Lily and Robert Brewster have agreed to help out at a nursing home next door to their own cottage, dubbed Grace & Favor. The convalescent home is full of colorful characters, including a cantankerous old man named Sean Connor. The day the Brewsters arrive, he slips into a coma and dies. No one is surprised at his passing—until it's revealed that he's been murdered. And Mr. Connor isn't the only victim in town. With multiple murders plaguing the community, the Brewster siblings are more committed than ever to helping the police find a cold-blooded criminal before he strikes again.

" It was a good quick read. "
— Charmaine, 7/10/2013" 1 and a half stars "
— Alice, 11/26/2012" I'm not very fond of knowing who the murderer is before you get through the first few chapters. "
— MommaLaura, 1/13/2012" I finished the book but I didn't like it. The mystery was never decently explained in the book. I am one who likes to know why things happen, especially in a mystery, and I didn't get that in this book. This is definetely not one of the author's better books. "
— Susan, 10/14/2009" Jill Churchill has other series about soccer mom slueths. I preder this one for it's interesting take on the Depression from the point of view of a brother and sister who were once quite wealthy. Usually books about this time period are about the down and out. "
— Lucy, 8/7/2009" will not read the rest of this one not so good. "
— John, 5/27/2009" I thought this book was really poorly written. The sentences were short and didn't flow. It was very shallow. I read this book to see if it would be good for book club, but I wouldn't choose it. "
— Betty, 5/1/2009" Mystery , easy read, too sappy "
