To Mrs Parminter, elderly and living alone, Mr Brightly is a handsome man of taste and sensibility who finds time in his busy life to visit her on his evening off. To his wife, Ginny, Dick is a good provider whose clever business deals promise her the lifestyle she aspires to. For Cressida, struggling to look after her disabled son, Richard is a knight in shining armour. And Nanette, whose personal service he once bought, now pays Ricki for his financial wizardry. Only the new-broom vicar, finding discrepancies in the church funds, begins to suspect that the respected treasurer may be a rogue.
Which is the true Mr Brightly? Events and revelations lead Mrs Parminter, Ginny, Cressida and Nanette - and the reader - each to their own conclusion.
