- While visiting Ireland, Jessica searches for clues when a widowed friend's son is suspected of killing an American relative.
- Jessica visits Fiona Delaney Griffith, the widow of Robert, a friend of her late husband, in Cork, Ireland, where the family runs a traditional factory of Woollens, blankets. Cousin Ambrose Griffith was about to take over management from Fiona's son Sean and move the site too far for many villagers to keep the only jobs in the region. Elder son Patrick Griffith, who was away over ten years fleeing his unfair father, is furious. Ambrose is found murdered in Father Timothy's church. Jessica also believes the old cripple local poet William Mahaffy who thinks Richards fall from the belfry was no accident and the crazy Una O'Reilly who puts flowers on his grave witnessed something. Sgt. Terence Boyle is clearly not up to examining murder cases, but Jessica does figure out how both murders fit together.—KGF Vissers
- Jessica Fletcher travels to Ireland to visit her friend, the recently widowed Fiona Griffith. She no sooner arrives than one of the locals, William Mahaffy, suggests that Fiona's husband Robert was murdered but everyone else dismisses any such suggestion. The Griffith family woolens mills is now run by Fiona's youngest son Sean but a cousin, Ambrose Griffith and his wife Emily have arrived and it seems he at least is intent on taking it over. When Fiona's eldest son Patrick returns after a 10 year absence, the family is reunited. Patrick and his father had fought regularly and he has only now returned after his father's death. When Ambrose is found in the church belfry, strangled to death, Patrick is arrested but Jessica is certain she can prove he was innocent. There are many family secrets including the fact that Ambrose was going to divorce Emily. A missing button, however, leads to the killer.—garykmcd
