My first Tommy and Tuppence story. An elderly happily married couple who get into some pickles. This story about the aging Aunt Ada and them meeting Mrs Lancashire in her retirement home starts an adventure. Tuppence looks for and finds a house by a canal in a painting there aunt leaves them. The house has some strange inhabitants and Tuppence is curious about the house history and gets drawn into a mystery with a surprise ending.

Criminal gangs, child murders, a secret room, jewels and some odd characters add to the atmosphere. The story ends with a great twist.
