Synopsis

The Endicott Family appear to be the kind of folks who live next door, but soon it is revealed one of these genial people has committed murder!

Aunt Caroline deserved to die.

But who could have killed her?

None of the family seems like a murderer, but there's nobody else, nobody with the slightest motive for poisoning Aunt Caroline, nobody who---but wait, maybe there was!

You're kept guessing to the very end.
