It's springtime and Whitstable is emerging from hibernation.

While neither the restaurant nor detective agency is too busy, Pearl resolves to spend some time at the family allotment. But her best friend, Nathan, has persuaded one of his favourite actresses to open the May Day festivities at Whitstable Castle and involves Pearl in his plans.

Like Pearl, Faye Marlowe is a Whitstable native, but having left the town more than two decades ago, the star has been living in the South of France. Charming but 'sensitive', she arrives with a small entourage and, though her presence in the town causes a stir, Pearl's mother Dolly remains unimpressed.

Nathan soon realises he has made a mistake with this invitation and his doubts are confirmed when Faye is nowhere to be found on the morning of May Day. And as 'Jack in the Green' puts on his costume to lead the parade, the actress's body is discovered – tethered to the maypole on the castle grounds ... and so it's left to Pearl and DCI Mike McGuire to unravel the mystery of the May Day murder.
