Urban location, set in March. Sophia Swain, jealous of her aunt's regard for her cousin Henry Pennifer and of his engagement to his employer's daughter, murders her aunt in her sleep to prevent her making a will naming henry as her heir. A broken shoe tassle, a key falsely lost and a servant's close observation suggest that she is the guilty party and the suspicions of a detective confirm it. (PB)
