Scruples that Beverly had followed since childhood seemed to be working well…until she hit midlife and her husband filed for divorce, her teenagers mutinied against her, she was promoted to a high-stress position, and she found a murder victim in the ladies’ restroom of Gerry’s Socks & Shoes. Through an emotional and sometimes comical series of events, Beverly attempts to unravel some mysteries of life and help catch the bad guys while struggling with her own personal quirks, fears, and expectations. In her journey she finds that sometimes people who do not follow the rules are heroes, and villains are not always foiled. Sometimes a man who becomes your best friend does not match your expectations for Prince Charming. Most surprisingly, a casual friend that you least expect to go that extra mile will become a dear friend, even though she dances to a completely different drummer and follows mores that Beverly will never understand.
