Edward Wilmott is looking forward to relaxing, spending some time in the garden, in other words he's looking forward to the quiet life now that he is retired. One person who Edward Wilmott has overlooked in all of this planning is Millie, his wife of nearly forty years. Millie thinks they should do more things together now that Edward has time on his hands, and Millie's ideas are nothing like Edward's, as he soon discovers. She doesn't want the quiet life. Millie wants to turn her hand to sleuthing and she'd like Edward to help.
