Description: When Sheila Malory agrees to help out in one of Taviscombe's charity shops for a few weeks, her friend Rosemary warns her about the 'control freak' manager Desmond Barlow. Before long Sheila begins to get the measure of her fellow volunteers including the bossy strident Norma Stanley; no-nonsense and cheerful Jean; and Desmond's mousey and put-upon wife Wendy. It's clear there's a clash of personalities but surely no one would wish Desmond harm? When his lifeless body is discovered in the shop after an apparent botched robbery, Sheila finds herself at the heart of the investigation.
