A reunion weekend for estranged sisters Connie and Regan takes a mysterious turn when they find the host of Hickory Dickory Inn murdered! With a snowstorm raging outside and the phone line deliberately cut, it appears the killer is among those at the inn. Could it be the victim’s surprisingly unsentimental sister, Essie? Or maybe it’s Clark or Keeky Curtis, a pair of lovebirds who have to be hiding something under that sticky-sweet façade. What’s the story behind debonair Englishman Edgar Hill, who’s a real fish out of water? And isn’t it curious that the best-selling author of horror stories, Nigel Grimm, in reality is afraid of everything? Does Sarah Dane, a lonely young woman who has an edge of anger, hold a strong enough passion, perhaps, to kill? The sisters can’t even overlook each other... Perhaps the victim himself will point a ghostly finger at the real killer!
