After finding a skeleton while visiting the properties that she’d inherited from her aunt, Mona Kelly, Fenella Woods is only a bit worried about what she might find when she visits the safe deposit boxes that Mona had in banks around the Isle of Man. Having said that, she’s still shocked when she walks into one of the banks just as a body is found in one of the vaults.

Nigel Corlett was the bank’s manager, but no one can explain how he’d ended up dead inside a time-locked vault. There is no shortage of suspects, as it becomes clear that Nigel was involved with many different women, some of whom seem to have been a bit obsessed with the handsome man.

Can Fenella help the police work out how Nigel got into the vault after hours? Can they work out exactly how many women he was actually seeing? And can Fenella persuade the owners of the Seaview in Ramsey to let her best friend, Shelly, have her wedding reception there when they’re supposed to be closed for the season?
