The body of Daniel Sutherland is found on his rented canal boat by Miriam who lives on the boat moored next to him. Daniel is the nephew of Carol and her ex-husband Theo. Miriam has a strained relationship with Theo as she has accused him of stealing her story to write one of his novels.
Laura is arrested by the police as a suspect in the killing. She has admitted that she was on the boat with Daniel the evening before his body was found, but she did not kill him. She had lost her house key and so had broken a window to get back in and that is why her hand is cut and there is blood on her clothes. Laura has befriended 80 year old widowed Irene who lives next door to Angela who is Carol's sister and Daniel's mother. She regularly shops for Irene and keeps her company.
Angela was found dead at the bottom of her stairs two weeks ago. Carol, Miriam and Laura all have troubled pasts.
