To divine a culprit…

Hidden beneath her British reserve, Edwina has a secret: she’s finished her novel and is bravely mailing out the manuscript. Beryl also has a secret: as thanks for solving a case, the American adventuress has been gifted an airplane, which she flamboyantly lands on the village green.

Beryl’s aircraft is not the only disruption. Miss Dinsdale has started holding séances. After the church organist resigns to serve as musical accompaniment for the séances, the vicar’s wife hires the enquiry agents to expose the medium as a charlatan. The dubious Miss Dinsdale claims her spirit guide is an Egyptian princess whose mummy resides in a sarcophagus. But the only body in the sarcophagus belongs to a murdered villager impaled with a dagger.
