Description

Absolutely loved it The characters were some of the best Ive read in a long time. Angela Marsons, no. 1 bestselling author of the Kim Stone series

Oxford, 1960. Police constable Trudy Loveday is about to face her first murder case
Its five years since twenty-one-year-old Gisela Fleet-Wright died. But when her former boyfriend is found brutally beaten to death the day after a mysterious note threatened his life, the case is reopened and, to WPC Trudy Lovedays delight, shes sent to investigate alongside coroner Clement Ryder.

At first its just a ploy by her senior officer, a man who has never liked Trudy, to keep the only WPC in the station out of his way. But as Trudy and Clement begin to dig, their suspicions about Giselas death grow and the dark secrets of two families are slowly revealed.

Through a trail of threatening notes and carefully arranged crime scenes, Trudy and Clement begin to delve into the mind of a killer and discover just how twisted Giselas death really was

A brilliant book! The pairing of Ryder and Loveday is a stroke of genius. Clare Chase, author of the Eve Mallow and Tara Thorpe mysteries

A thrilling whodunit, packed with Martins trademark labyrinthine plotting, stunning twists and turns. The Lancashire Post
