In Closing Stages: A Phyllida Moon Mystery, the fifth in the series, Eileen Dewhurst's (Double Act) spunky heroine lands after gallbladder surgery in a convalescent home, where she investigates the allegedly natural deaths of several patients. Despite foregoing a vacation in pursuit of a love interest, actress-cum-PI Phyllida charms as she snoops on doctors, nurses, nuns and the bereaved.
