CRIMSON FRIDAY

The gossips of Merristone have been having a field day since the reclusive Mrs. Moran moved to town with her near-deaf maid, Hannah Wilson. Mrs. Moran is seen every day covered in bright flowing gowns and walking her two cats. All everyone knows is that she used to be a famous harpist but she and her maid keep strictly to themselves. So Jane and Alan-renovating the house next to hers, and soon to be neighbors-are completely taken by surprise when Mrs. Moran invites them to tea.

Later that evening, Jane, Al and a few family members drive over to their new house-still under construction-to look at the blueprints. And to everyone's horror, they find Hannah at the foot of the cellar ladder, her head bashed in. Even more mysterious, someone has stolen their car keys so they can't go for the police. Now everyone is scrambling around trying to find a phone, and that's when they realize that the neighboring Mrs. Moran has completely disappeared. Could she have murdered her maid? Or is she a victim of the same killer?
