The enterprising septuagenarian sleuth Tish McWhinny, "an absolutely first-rate companion" (Booklist), returns on the trail of a murderer at a local dog show. Tish reluctantly gets involved in restoring an old painting for a dog show promotion harmless enough, until the painting is stolen and someone is murdered. Is the crime connected to the rather shady new couple now running the local store? What about the retired Royal Navy man, or niece Sophie's secretive new boyfriend? It takes all Tish's ingenuity, along with the help of her courtly friend Hilary Oats and free-spirit Sophie, to find out -- and to catch a cold criminal.
