Vera is called to the scene of a violent car crash, and quickly realizes that the crash was not accidental and that another driver tried to kill victim, Faye Wakeland.
Driving home from a funeral Faye Wakeland is run off the road and dies in hospital. Some years earlier she had accused her step-mother Susan of trying to kill her but Susan claims that Faye was a fantasist who hated and lied about her. Car firm owner Tony Everitt for whom Faye worked and Susan tell Vera she had been seeing a solicitor of dubious reputation but her secret lover is actually her adoring landlord Noel. Everybody Vera meets speaks glowingly of Faye but then she discovers something disturbing about Faye and the man whose funeral she attended, which may or may not lead to solving the murder.—don @ minifie-1
