Family friend Mrs. O’Neill was delighted when her daughter, Una, wed the seemingly wealthy and charming Randolph Pollock. But there’s a problem. Una was found cradling her dead husband’s body. Rendered mute by the ordeal, she cannot explain what happened and now stands charged with murder. Mrs. O’Neill would like Frank to investigate the case and save Una, yet with Frank and Sarah still on their honeymoon, it’s up to the other members of their newly formed household to do some detective work. But solving the mystery behind Pollock’s death means first discovering the truth about who he really is...

In this one Frank and Sarah are on their honeymoon so this time it’s up to Maeve and Officer Donatelli to solve the case, with a little help of course.
It was nice and refreshing with something new but at the same time, nothing was really different with how the sleuthing happened. A bit slow and I like Sarah and Frank more.
It will be interesting to see what the next book will bring.
