Charles Hayward, the fiancé of Aristide's granddaughter Sophia, is a young detective who takes on the investigation at Sophia's request. Sophia suspects the killer is a family member, as they all live together in a mansion full of tension and secrets. The family includes Aristide's young wife Brenda, his children Philip and Roger, their daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, and granddaughters, including Josephine, a girl obsessed with detective stories. All have potential motives - greed, jealousy, or hidden conflicts.

Charles, with the help of Inspector Taverner and his father, a police officer, investigates the complex family relationships.

The story culminates tragically when Josephine causes an accident in which she herself dies.
