A thunderstorm. In a windswept country house a family of failures wrangles over a will: a detective who has never solves a case, a writer, an artist and a composer whose works have never been published, shown or performed, and a dysfunctional teenager. 

Here are the prime ingredients for a murder mystery, but this diversion is by Alan Ayckbourn and it has a number of surprises. The victim is not who it should be, the murderer's identity changes overnight and the thrills are leavened with tongue in cheek humour and ironic comment.
