Mrs Edkins is the proprietor of a respectable boarding house on Mill Field in Folkestone. A widow for many years, Mrs Edkins craves human interaction and is an avid read of romantic fiction.

Instinctively suspicious, she is desperate to know the goings-on of her assorted guests. And her curiosity goes beyond the walls of her boarding house; there is not much happening in Folkestone that Mrs Edkins does not know about.
