Chinese Summary/中文概要： 刚刚守寡的Ellie Quicke花了三周的时间来照顾女儿一家人，她的细心照料很快让他们从流感病毒中挺了过来。在回伦敦郊区自己家的路上时，她了解到自己的牧师朋友被调派到了另一个牧区，原因嘛是因为这个牧区的信徒们接二连三的受到一系列恶心的恐吓匿名信。而教堂里的那位风琴手大概被诽谤、恐吓信吓的够戗，她的行为都变的相当古怪。Ellie一直非常思念自己的丈夫，而现在让她费心的事可远不止这些： 女儿欠了一屁股债，生活可以说是入不付出； 她自己呢，整天有两个家伙死缠烂打地追求她，要约她出去；朋友的外孙想来搞她的花园，但他对园林一窍不通；丈夫的大姑总是利用她、虐待她，把她那幢公寓里最费时、辛苦的工作交给她干。尽管如此，现在的当务之急还是要处理那些匿名信，因为在教堂风琴手无故自杀后Ellie本人也受到了恐吓信。现在Ellie不得不把这个罪犯揪出来，不让她的名誉受到玷污，当然最重要的还是保住自己的性命。 作者能够把这么多乱七八糟的情节如此和谐的整合起来真的非常了不起，人物也刻画的入木三分。虽然故事的背景是在一个相当发达的地区，但是因为作品的焦点主要还是集中在牧区和信徒上，这就让作品读起来很有小镇的感觉。在Ellie找出事实真相之前，还有很多有趣的曲折故事要发生。
