- When the wife of a wealthy local businessman disappears, Barnaby finds that Fawcett Green harbors a complex web of financial and romantic entanglements.
- When the residents of Morton Fendle learn that the local mill is to be shut, many also realize that they will lose their investments in the place. Alan Hollingsworth had encouraged the locals to invest but he is now bankrupt and refuses to explain what has happened to the money. Feelings are running high and Gray Patterson in particular, Hollingsworth's one time partner, seems ready to do something about it. When Hollingsworth's wife disappears, Barnaby concludes that she has been kidnapped and that may account for the missing money. But who exactly are the kidnappers and why have they targeted Mrs. Hollingsworth in particular? A hidden romance and eventual betrayal allows Barnaby to bring the culprits to justice.—garykmcd
- Barnaby and Troy investigate the disappearance of Simone, estranged wife of Alan Hollingsworth, who lost the savings of many neighbors in Morton Fendle in a failed development project for the local mill he set up with rich womanizer Gray Patterson as former partner, and can't justify where the money went. Barnaby has Troy literally dig up a casserole Alan got from smitten wallflower neighbor, who later dies in a most suspicious car 'accident', traced to Simone's buddy neighbor's dodgy ex Vince Perry . They conclude Alan spent the capital on ransoms but he became a lush and is murdered at home. They must dig into more investors lives to solve the case, thus stumbling upon various minor crimes.—KGF Vissers
