The Moody Case: Janet and Joan Markham are on a routine trip to the supermarket when their car gets hit from behind. When the man who hit them doesn't want to provide his name or insurance details, Janet rings her friend, Constable Robert Parsons. Robert fills out an accident report, and that should be the end of that.Meanwhile, the sisters have two single men as guests at their bed and breakfast. The guests don't appear to know one another, but they share a few peculiarities. The one that bothers Joan is that neither of them ever wants any breakfast.While their car is being repaired, Janet borrows a sporty red coupe from the local garage. She loves driving it, but when she gets stuck in heavy traffic as the result of an accident, she's shocked to discover that one of their guests is involved. A few days later a second accident, this time involving their other guest, leaves Janet wondering if there might be something criminal going on. Can Janet work out what's really going on? More importantly, can Janet find a way to convince Joan to let her buy the little red car?

The Norman Case: Summer in Derbyshire brings a never ending stream of guests to Doveby House. Janet and Joan Markham find themselves working harder than they'd ever expected when they bought the bed and breakfast. While most of the guests have been pleasant, there have been enough difficult guests to make Janet wary whenever they are expecting new arrivals.She and Joan are both relieved when their latest guests seem nearly perfect. The quick arrival and departure of another couple who are considerably less amiable makes them feel as if they're being quite lucky at the moment.However, when a few small objects disappear from the local antique shop, they find themselves wondering whether their guests are as nice as they seem. As more items go missing all around Doveby Dale, Janet and Joan find themselves caught up in yet another criminal investigation.

The Osborne Case: Janet Markham has been trying to track down Gretchen Falkirk for months. She's eager to learn more about Alberta Montgomery, one of the previous residents of the bed and breakfast she now owns with her sister, Joan. When her friends from the Isle of Man, Bessie Cubbon and Doona Moore, come for a short stay, it seems the perfect time to try visiting the elusive woman.Unfortunately for Janet, instead of finding Gretchen, she finds herself and her friends caught up in the hunt for a missing person. She and Joan want to show Bessie and Doona the sights around Derbyshire, but Janet wants to find Gretchen at least as much.What does Gretchen's downstairs neighbour really know? Can Janet help Robert Parsons, the local police constable, work out what happened to the missing woman? Will she and Joan get to take Bessie and Doona to some of their favourite historical sites or is this case going to turn into a murder investigation?

The Patrone Case: Janet is happy to help William Chalmers, the owner of Doveby Dale's antique shop, interview a few potential employees. She and William are friends, although William often hints that he has romantic intentions. Regardless, it makes a nice change for Janet from the day-to-day running of the bed and breakfast that she shares with her sister, Joan.The three candidates for the part-time job are less than stellar, though. When a brick gets thrown through William's window the day after the interviews, Janet can't help but wonder if one of the three was involved.Robert Parsons, Doveby Dale's police constable, begins an investigation. Meanwhile, Janet and Joan are dealing with fighting couples in both guest rooms; Edward Bennett, the handsome man who may or may not be a spy, rings to ask for a favour; and more windows get broken.Can Janet help Robert work out who is behind the vandalism? Can she help William find a suitable new employee? And can she help their guests get along, at least until they leave Doveby House?
