Publisher's Synopsis
A gripping British cosy crime mystery with a mysterious death and a village full of secrets...
MAISIE COOPER IS NO DETECTIVE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
BUT SHE MIGHT JUST SOLVE A MURDER...
Maisie left the picture-perfect village of Framlington years ago. But when her brother asks for her help out of the blue she soon finds herself back among the windy lanes and open green fields. But it's not the family reunion she hoped for - upon arrival she learns that she's too late. Stephen is dead. And not just dead - murdered.
Frustrated by the slow police investigation headed up by handsome Sergeant Wingard, Maisie determines to start asking questions herself. In a village where everyone knows everyone, surely someone has some information about Stephen. But the longer Maisie stays, and the deeper she digs, the more she begins to sense something sinister at the heart of the village. What secrets are the residents so desperate to keep hidden? And what exactly was her brother going to tell her before his mysterious demise?
And when another death rocks the community, Maisie fears that she needs to catch the killer before they catch her...
