Glaube, Liebe, Hoffnung - Mord. In Shaftesbury ist es wieder einmal Zeit für den Wettbewerb um den schönsten Liebesbrief. Den hat in den letzten Jahren stets die rüstige Greta Huntington-Dillinger gewonnen. Doch daraus wird in diesem Jahr nichts: Greta stürzt von der Leiter an der Liebeseiche, in deren Astloch die Teilnehmenden ihre selbst verfassten Briefe hinterlegen. Schnell ist klar, dass es kein Unfall war: Jemand hat die Leitersprossen angesägt. Wer wollte der alten Dame Böses? Penelope St. James nimmt sich der Sache an.

Willkommen in Shaftesbury! Penelope St. James zieht aus London in den kleinen Ort Shaftesbury, um dort eine Partnervermittlungsagentur zu eröffnen. Der Anfang ist schwierig, denn Handyempfang gibt es nur auf dem Friedhof, und ihr neuer Nachbar Sam ist ausgerechnet Tierarzt - mit Tieren kann Penelope nun wirklich nichts anfangen. Als sie mitansehen muss, wie eine Frau überfahren wird, ist sie misstrauisch, denn sie glaubt nicht an einen Unfall.

Showdown in Shaftesbury. Turbulente Zeiten im idyllischen Shaftesbury: Ein Rabe terrorisiert das Dorf, ein Kleptomane scheint von Haus zu Haus zu gehen, und obendrein wird das Anwesen Highgrove Hall von einem abgerissenen Mann gekauft, der aussieht, als hätte man ihn eben aus dem Gefängnis entlassen. Alles Fälle für Penelope St. James meint man im Dorf, weil alle sie für eine verdeckt arbeitende Detektivin halten. Doch der schwierigste Fall erwartet Penelope noch - als sie den neuen und schon unbeliebten Pfarrer tot in der Kirche findet.
