Joan and Janet are starting to feel at home in Doveby Dale. Janet has even joined the Doveby Dale Ladies’ Club, a group of women who meet for dinner on a monthly basis.
But when one of the other members suggests adding men to the club, the ladies find they can’t agree. An arranged gathering with the ladies and a few potential male members worries Janet. Gerald Butler-Smythe is a retired investment banker who seems far too interested in everyone else’s finances.
Janet doesn’t really care one way or other about letting men into the club, but she doesn’t want to stand by and see her new friends being cheated out of their hard-earned money.
With a long-term guest staying at the bed and breakfast and other guests coming and going, can Janet find time to investigate the sophisticated Gerald? What else will the sisters find in their carriage house? And should Janet invite William Chalmers to join the club as well, if men are welcome?
