Three Four Knock on My Door

Second in the whodunit series for armchair detectives everywhere In One Two Buckle My Shoe the engaging Edge and Vivian solved a flurry of murders at Grasshopper Lawns with their new friends Donald and William, but life has now settled back to normal; as normal as it can be in this particular Scottish retirement village, where residents are chosen for their interesting histories. Vivian and William are relishing their lively flirtation, there's a new resident with a dreadful dog, and Sylvia is enjoying the visit of a devoted and handsome nephew. Even the suicide of a young and pretty Kenyan girl doesn't seem to need the murder-solving talents of the four friends.The most exotic visitor is the enigmatic Dallas from Louisiana, with life-changing news for Vivian; but when Death makes a personal call, recent events take on a more sinister aspect.

If he shrieks like a girl and slams the door;" "He's normal," Donald finished wryly.
