It’ll be tricky, but the OAP residents of Sunset Hall are going to give it their best shot.</b></p><p>Sunset Hall is a house-share for the old and unruly, led by Agnes Sharp. It’s an eventful day when this group of idiosyncratic geriatrics gets a visit from the police to inform them of some shocking news: a body has been discovered next door. Everyone puts on a long face, but they are secretly relieved that the body in question is not the one they’re currently hiding in the shed (sorry about that, Lillith). Now the answer to their little problem with Lillith may have fallen into their laps. All they have to do is find out who murdered their neighbour, so they can pin Lillith’s death on them, thus killing two old birds with one stone.</p><p>To investigate, the group (not forgetting Hettie the tortoise) will venture into the not-so-idyllic village of Duck End and tangle with sinister bakers, broken stair lifts, inept criminals and their own dark secrets.</p><p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/_leonieswann/'>Follow Leonie Swann</a><br/><br/><br/><br/></p><p><a rel=\"payment\" href=\"https://ko-fi.com/nadinematheson\">Support the show</a></p><p>&quot;Enjoying &apos;The Conversation&apos;? <b>Support the podcast by buying me a</b><a href='https://ko-fi.com/nadinematheson'><b> cup of coffee</b></a><b> </b>☕️!
