Strange happenings at Ramsden House care home go unnoticed by the authorities. Set in the beautiful Jurassic coast, this prestigious home started up by a go-ahead professional couple seems the ideal place for star songster, Ursula to place her loved but inconvenient autistic daughter Tosca to develop into adulthood away from her parents’ hectic London lifestyle. To Ursula’s chagrin her best friend, Tosca’s Godmother Isobel, is worried. Through a chance meeting with a man with a disability, Andrew and Bowie his spaniel dog, she’s picked up sinister vibes about Ramsden House. This proves awkward since Ursula relies on Isobel to support her, especially in regard to her handicapped child with whom Isobel has a good relationship.
Tension increases as Isobel becomes involved with Ramsden House. Through her job as a pianist at a grand hotel, she meets the parents and former owners of the house who ask her to befriend their autistic daughter Nikki, currently a resident at Ramsden House. Seeing this as a chance to find out whether Ramsden House could be the right place for her beloved Goddaughter, Isobel agrees. Her alarm grows when on an outing with Nikki she biffs a prominent local do-gooder whom she calls Lord Fuckingdon. Why does Nikki behave like this and why does she not want to return to Ramsden House? Isobel wonders but is unable to make Ursula understand her fears Ramsden House would be bad for Tosca.
Crisis is reached when Isobel, her new friend Andrew, dog Bowie and Nikki, are caught up in the care manager’s death. Forced to clear her name, Isobel becomes detective. Is she been wrong about the new friends? Using her musical sensitivities and empathy, plus the help of Bowie the super nosed spaniel, she ferrets out the real culprit.
