When a spate of new residents from a rival retirement home join the serene Camden-sur-Mer, Benbow and Wingate find they have a new murder case on their hands

Irrepressible amateur sleuths Angela Benbow and Caledonia Wingate are in action again. The ladies’ plush retirement home at Camden-sur-Mer is absorbing tenants from a rival establishment, The Golden Years, which the heroines have appropriately dubbed 'The Geezer Factory' since it transforms normal senior citizens into disgruntled geezers.

The influx of new neighbours is just the sort of excitement Angela and Caledonia have been hoping for, and sure enough, things soon begin to look up. When a new resident of Camden-sur-Mer is found face-down in the fountain, an earlier accidental death at The Geezer Factory suddenly looks very suspicious. Over the protests of their favourite policeman, Lieutenant Martinez, Angela and Caledonia are galvanized into action.
