What is Who Could Kill A Sweet Old Lady about?

Edie takes a job as a live-in caregiver for a very wealthy older woman, expecting routine work — managing medications, meals, and companionship. But small unsettling incidents begin to stack up: strangers lingering outside, whispered phone calls, and oddly timed visits from people who claim to care about the client. Edie's instincts tell her something is badly wrong. As she digs deeper, she realizes that greed has set a trap around this fragile woman, and that anyone who notices is in danger themselves. With no one she can fully trust and the clock working against her, Edie must figure out who is orchestrating the threat — before it is too late for both of them.
