Opis

An American version of Miss Marple in 1903, Gracie Evans, a retired, spinster farmer, tries to resign herself to the fact she now lives in Moser Mansion, a rest home for women, in Locked Rock, Iowa. That small town is never going to be the same again as long as Miss Gracie Evans is watching all that goes on at the neighbors. She wrestles with boredom as she remembers how active she was on the farm. Her only diversion now is rocking on the front porch while she keeps track of the neighbors. Join Gracie and another resident, Melinda Applegate, while they spy on the neighborhood through peek holes Gracie tore in the vines attached to the porch. You will be frozen in your rocker right along with the Moser ladies one dark night when what starts out as harmless snooping turns into a dangerous past time. The murder of a lady of the evening occurs across the street from the mansion, and the killer knows Gracie and Melinda were watching behind the vines. The sheriff investigates, but Gracie tells Melinda to stay away from him so she doesn't let what she knows slip out. They can't accuse the killer without proof. The revenge on them would be terrifying. While Gracie and Melinda search for proof to give the sheriff, the killer stalks them, looking for a way to shut them up. The Moser Mansion women are scared to death they will be the killer's next victims just because they were Neighbor Watchers.
