In 1926 even the small Canadian town of Willowsdown is caught up in the world's Pharaoh frenzy. Dorothea Montgomery's sister visits from England bringing with her a rare, jewel-encrusted beetle pin excavated from an Egyptian archaeological dig. At a community gathering, the good folk of Willowsdown admire its exotic splendour, but by the end of the evening the brooch has disappeared. For Dorothea, the disagreeable task of viewing neighbours as theft suspects is intensified when the town's disliked funeral director is discovered dead in one of his own coffins. Surely no one from her town would be mixed up in theft and murder! But if not them, then Dorothea has to consider the newcomers that the Christmas season has brought to town - her sister and her sister's grandchildren as well as family members of other townspeople. Why couldn't there be an obviously sinister character with an evil laugh labouring under some curse of the Pharaohs rather than "regular" people? Even without a squinty-eyed, black-caped stranger, Dorothea's discriminating eye for detail and her depth of understanding of human nature makes her notably qualified to sort out both theft and murder.
