About This Book
A spirited woman left at a riverside wharf hires a boatman named Sam and crosses to a nearby island where a series of nocturnal disturbances—gunshots, prowlers in pajamas, and a discovered bracelet—spark a comic mystery. She takes matters into her own hands, rowing out after strange lights and eavesdropping on late-night searches, while Sam and island residents become tangled in misunderstandings and amateur sleuthing. The episodes combine physical comedy and escalating complications that reveal motives and identities, carry a light romantic undertone, and conclude with the mystery unraveled and social balance restored.
