Королеве разгадок и её другу предстоит столкнуться с новым преступлением, произошедшим на этот раз прямо в особняке, куда юные друзья приехали на зимние праздники. Каждый здесь оказывается под подозрением и каждому угрожает опасность стать новой жертвой злодея, от которого негде скрыться в доме, отрезанном от внешнего мира снежной бурей. Даже полиция, прибывшая расследовать это дело, не может покинуть место событий до самой разгадки, которая, конечно же, невозможна без логических умозаключений и решительных действий двух детективов-подростков, а также их новых и старых друзей.
Как и в первой книге, "Тело под роялем", героев ждут хитроумные загадки и необъяснимые поначалу явления, тёмные истории прошлого и нешуточные испытания в настоящем, а читателей - неожиданные повороты сюжета, сохраняющие интригу на протяжении всего произведения, искренние переживания, тонкий юмор и атмосфера изящной английской жизни начала XX века.

Aspiring writer Aggie Morton is ready to enjoy an invigorating trip to a Yorkshire spa, where her widowed mother can take the waters and recover from a long mourning period. Having solved yet another murder and faced extreme peril with her best friend Hector over Christmas, Aggie's Morbid Preoccupation is on alert when rumors abound about the spa's recently deceased former patient . . . and then another body appears under mysterious circumstances. Together with Grannie Jane, and often in the company of George, a young patient at the spa, Aggie and Hector take a closer look at the guests and staff of the Wellspring Hotel, and venture into the intriguing world of the local undertaker. Has there been a murder--or even two? As Aggie and Hector ignite their deductive skills, their restful trip takes a sudden, dangerous turn.

For young detective Aggie Morton and her friend Hector, an opportunity to dig up fossils becomes even more thrilling when a corpse washes ashore. After an invigorating but not exactly restful trip to a Yorkshire spa during which she survived a near brush with death and foiled a murderer, aspiring writer Aggie Morton and her friend Hector are thrilled to have the opportunity to stay at a camp by the sea and watch real paleontologists at work. The famed husband and wife team of the Blenningham-Crewes are about to become even more famous with the recovery of the fossilized bones of an ichthyosaur from the sea by Lyme Regis. This news has already caught the attention of an American millionaire, a British museum and a traveling circus owner, who each want the bones for their own collections. Tensions are running high throughout the camp, from the cook, to the collectors, to the Blenningham-Crewes themselves, and become downright dangerous after Aggie and Hector make a discovery of their own: a body on the beach. Not a fossil, but a human body.
