Governess-turned-sleuth Miss Silver takes on a murder case involving a surprise inheritance and a feuding family.

Martin Brand always had a dark sense of humor. Surrounded by relatives he despised, he looked forward to the day when, dead and buried, he would no longer have to concern himself with them. As a last joke, he willed his entire fortune to a poor relation, and went to his grave a smiling man.

After years of toil caring for her layabout sister, Marion Brand is shocked to learn her unknown uncle has left her his estate. Now, she can finally be happy. But claiming the riches isn't so simple. Before long someone is dead -- and it will be up to Miss Maud Silver to find the killer.
