Windy Meadows - a peaceful place to live out your golden years, unless you’re bothered by a little thing like murder. Maureen McNeely is assigned her first homicide case as lead detective, with a misogynistic captain breathing down her neck to solve the crime. To add to the pressure, Maureen’s cantankerous Irish grandmother resides at Windy Meadows, who thinks Maureen should be married with a brood of children instead of being in law enforcement. Maureen turns to her uncle, Brendan O’Clery, a US Marine-turned-priest, for help. As a young Marine, Father O’Clery excelled in his position as an intelligence officer during the Gulf War, as evidenced by his love of crossword puzzles, anagrams, and anywhere a puzzle needs a solution. Father O’Clery, in turn, calls on his two clerical friends—a rabbi and a Baptist minister—to aid him in his niece’s pursuit of a ruthless murderer, who’s so close but yet still able to elude discovery.
