Xylophones and X-Rays

Margaret Woods, Fenella's niece, is back on the island, and she's planning to stay this time. A late-night stroll on the promenade that leaves Fenella with a broken arm isn't a great start to Margaret's new beginning, though. When Fenella's doctor, Rachel, asks for help in locating her missing boyfriend, Ben, Fenella tells her to call the police. Fenella's neighbor's aunt, Elaine, is more willing to help out, though. Elaine insists on accompanying Rachel to the missing man's apartment to see if he may be simply avoiding Rachel.

No one is expecting to find a dead man on Ben's kitchen floor. Rachel is relieved that the body isn't Ben's, but that just raises a lot of questions for the police to try to answer.

Can Fenella and her friends help the police find Ben? Can they work out the identity of the dead man and find out why he was in Ben's apartment? And is it possible that Heather Bryant, the new reporter for the Isle of Man Times, is even more annoying than Dan Ross?
