The Latest Mrs. Adams
by George Tibbles

Lily Adams, a sophisticated, lovely dress designer from New York, is brought to her new husband's Connecticut farmhouse to live.

She and Sam Adams arrive at night, during a storm.

She loves the place until a head rolls down the stairs.

The head proves to be merely a bowling ball; it seems they are not alone.

Sam's uncle and his ex mother in law are still in residence.

A little weird.

Lily puts up with bowling balls, wraiths dancing through the room and strange opinions.

Ethan Allen, a man who lives under a bridge, stays the night.

He is murdered.

The village constable conducts a farcical investigation.

Ethan Allen returns, not dead at all, but suffering from a disease that all but eliminates his pulse.

And Lily begins life again with the Adams family.
