Phoebe Magillicutty Stuart just made detective. She's also freshly divorced and was taken to the cleaners by her ex's lawyers, so much so that she, at twenty-eight, can't afford her own apartment. Instead, she moves in with her elderly aunt, Emily Magillicutty, who spent her life in Hollywood as a screamer in scary movies. Emily has an aging ex-cop for a gardener and a frustrated, elderly French chef for a cook, making Phoebe concerned she'll be caring for the oldsters before long, even as she starts her career as a detective. And the St. Cloud PD has a serious case to solve: older women are being attacked and robbed by a man with a horrible facial scar. Senior detective Neil McKenna has a suspect, but the man has a perfect alibi for every attackabsolutely every one. Aunt Emily, the screamer, finds herself in the same room as the vicious attacker of old women. Timing is everything, but, apparently, so are lines.
