The course of true love never did run smooth. According to Myrtle, Eloise Crane set her cap for Miles long ago. Although Miles is now dating Eloise, he doesn't seem overly enthusiastic about it. Myrtle figures he's simply given in after running out of plausible excuses. Eloise drives Myrtle batty, so she's intent on avoiding her as much as possible. This isn't easy since Eloise is determined to join in whenever Miles and Myrtle are together. When Myrtle spots Eloise at a restaurant canoodling with a different gentleman, she likes Eloise even less. And she decides that Eloise has caused no end of problems when her other suitor is found dead. With Miles a suspect, Myrtle must jump into gear to clear his name and find the killer before he strikes again.

The victim is a boorish man who has plenty of enemies in Bradley. Despite this, suspicion falls heavily on Myrtle and Miles's friend-a botanist who grows the deadly nightshade the man was poisoned with. Can Myrtle and Miles solve the case and help their friend before the killer strikes again?
