Jo Dobenny, weekending in Connecticut, is privy to the death (carbon monoxide poisoning in a closed car suicide or murder?) of the woman who had married the man Jo loved, and there follows the diffusion of suspicion over others who are close to her-her crippled cousin Philip, his wife, and naturally and necessarily the dead woman's husband. McKee again officiates to solve the case and its possible benefits- marital or material... Plasticoated- i.e. shiny and synthetic.
