"Nan Ryan lives by herself. When it's heard that the builders are coming to work on the deserted house next door, Nan's three grown-up children reckon she won't get a moment of peace. But when Derek Doyle's shiny van arrives outside Number 12, Nan is secretly excited. And when the handsome builder looks to Nan to help unravel the mystery of the previous residents' vanishing, a special friendship begins to flourish." -- Publisher.
