A sheltered but curious older lady and a sexy younger man tormented by guilt meet in a village haunted by a murder far in the past. In 1968, at age 67, Muriel Dunphy leaves her hometown for the first time to begin a new life in the quaint village of Mossmead Hamlet, where she will become one of six boarders at Mrs. V's Boarding House. As she finds friends, work and adventures, she also discovers secrets of a murder from 23 years ago. Almost more shocking to her, Muriel loses her heart to a troubled younger man and in a way she could never have predicted. What several psychologically scarred inhabitants of Mossmead find in Muriel is a curious stranger who listens. Muriel discovers from them that even as repressed as she is, she may not be afraid of the dark.
