Publisher's Synopsis
Retired schoolteachers Pat, Liz and Thelma don't know what to think. The death of Neville Hilton is not a crime. Just your standard, if tragic, heart attack. At least that's what the autopsy shows. But his ex-wife isn't convinced. She's sure the current Mrs Hilton is involved - maybe she wasn't at some horse event, as she told police. And so the three friends step away from the Melmbury slice to investigate. As the trio delve into the village's secrets, they uncover more than they bargained for - angry residents with old grudges and the echoes of a damning report that ruined lives all those years ago. In the sweltering summer heat, can our unlikely trio untangle the web of lies and uncover the truth before anybody else dies?
