"For Joyce's stories you don't need a strong stomach, though you may find your sides aching with laughter.

Fizz takes matters into her own hands, enlisting the reluctant help of lawyer Tam Buchanan. Soon Tam is mingling with the locals, whose friendly banter conceals all manner of secrets. And it begins to look as though Bessie Anderson knew more than was good for her about one of her neighbors.
