Description
When interior decorator Claire Burke discovers one of her clients dead on the new rug that she’s just installed, she never imagines that she will soon be hard at work investigating the woman’s murder. However, her severely disabled, wheelchair-bound daughter Jessie forms a bond with the victim’s husband Jimmy, and when the man is arrested for his wife’s killing, Claire can’t believe that anyone who could be so tender towards her daughter could actually harm another human being. Soon, she enlists her friend Tia to help prove the man’s innocence. Tia ensconces herself in the man’s home under the guise of providing him cleaning services––all the while snooping for possible clues that might exonerate the man. Claire’s Aunt Augusta also arrives for a visit and quickly befriends an elderly neighbor, and the two old ladies––anxious to help Claire––start their own investigation. With detectives seemingly everywhere, no one can possibly imagine who will ultimately bring down the killer––and it may be the most amazing detective of them all!
