A family inheritance draws an elderly sleuth into a deadly battle of wills in this delightful whodunit: "Miss Rachel [is] a treasure." ―Kirkus Reviews

Donwyn Shore's rather quirky aunt left a complex set of instructions upon her death: her five inheritors each received a letter, and were required to wait five years to present it and claim their share of the bequest. But one of the cousins is refusing to participate, and on top of that Donwyn is convinced the family's ancient ancestral home is haunted.

For help sorting out the legalities of the will, she turns to Miss Rachel Murdock—who, as usual, gets more involved than expected and finds herself breaking and entering, not to mention investigating a murder . . .

"You will never regret having made the acquaintance of Miss Rachel Murdock." ―The New York Times

"The observant Rachel is an appealing Jessica Fletcher antecedent." ―Publishers Weekly
