Meet Lilly Tweed. Former Agony Aunt. Purveyor of Fine Teas. Accidental Sleuth.

The annual amateur art competition is the highlight of Plumpton Mallet's social calendar, and this year Lilly has been invited to judge. It's an honour... until she discovers that artists can be every bit as competitive as they are creative.

With rivalries simmering, tempers fraying and more than a little envy on display, the exhibition opens to great fanfar, but disaster strikes when a body is discovered.

And as if one murder weren't enough to ruin everyone's day, Detective Phillips is abruptly taken off the case, leaving Lilly without her closest ally. Then matters go from bad to utterly disastrous when Lilly herself is arrested for murder.

The police may think they've caught their culprit, but the real killer is still at large.

Now Lilly has just one problem: how do you solve a murder when you're locked in a cell?
