Something old something new something stolen. . . ? Gina Knight is looking forward to the prospect of retirement with her husband of forty-three years. Until to her surprise said husband decides he needs to 'find himself' - alone - and disappears to Santa Fe leaving divorce papers in his wake. Now Gina needs a new role in life not to mention somewhere to live so she applies for the position of Companion to elderly Dorothy Reed. At eighty-three 'Dot' needs someone to help her around the house - or at least her family seems to think so. Her companion's first role would be to accompany Dot for a week-long extravagant wedding party. But when Georgina arrives at the large Norfolk estate where the wedding will take place she quickly discovers Dot has an ulterior motive for hiring her. While the other guests are busy sipping champagne and playing croquet Dot needs Georgina to help her solve a mystery - about a missing painting which she believes is hidden somewhere in the house. Because after all who would suspect two old ladies of getting up to mischief?
