Carolyn and Bill Emerson have always dreamed of owning the building where Carolyn's paint-your-own pottery business is located in picturesque Maple Ridge, Vermont. So when building inspector
Charlie Cobb gives them a hard time, Bill loses it. Then Cobb is found head down in a bucket of liquid clay, deliberately drowned - and Bill is the prime suspect. Worried, Carolyn decides to
conduct her own investigation to clear her husband's name.
