Mrs Stella Ryman is an amateur sleuth, trapped in a down-at-heel care home. You’d be cranky, too.
Octogenarian sleuth Stella Ryman returns to investigate a perplexing care home mystery that precipitates the disappearance of her closest friend, the fragile and fierce Thelma Hu.
The Greek Chorus spell out Thelma’s doom: “Those who leave Fairmount seldom return.”
Stella’s only hope to find Thelma and bring her home, is to escape Fairmount Manor and head out alone, armed with her wiles and the resilience born of long experience—through the big city that she never thought she’d see again.
