About

A famed mystery writer in a motorised wheelchair and her doctor ex-lover solve a mystery involving her family.

Anne Royce McClain, played by Angela Lansbury, is a successful murder mystery writer who lives on her New York estate in a mansion filled with priceless artworks and her own first editions and manuscripts. She uses a motorised wheelchair and continues to publish bestselling novels.

She shares the house with her childlike granddaughter Pamela (Tracey Childs) and Rashi (Tariq Yunus), her Rajasthani factotum, who is also an electronics wizard on parole and has installed fire and burglar alarms. Anne's nights involve cognac and lit cigarillos tossed into wastepaper baskets, setting off the smoke alarm. Dr. Anthony Wainwright, played by Laurence Olivier, is her doctor and former lover.
