But the minute she arrives in London for a well-earned break, everything goes terribly wrong:1. People still insist she’s a scythe-wielding skeleton in a black sack. Spoiler: she’s a woman who'd love a wardrobe upgrade, thanks. 2. Life, her sanctimonious sister, blames her for, well, everything. 3. A string of murders occurs off-schedule. Nothing ruins a holiday quite like an admin disaster. 4. A charming (sexy) scientist shows up, and, of course, he’s hiding something. 5.
