Publisher's Synopsis
Wartime secrets, smugglers' caves, skeletal remains...
And the holiday's only just begun…
July 1923 - Iris Woodmore travels to Devon with her friends Percy Baverstock and Millicent Nightingale for her father's wedding to Katherine Keats.
But when Millicent uncovers skeletal remains hidden on the private beach of Katherine's former home, Iris begins to suspect her future stepmother is not what she seems.
The police reveal the dead man is a smuggler who went missing in 1918, and when a new murder occurs, they realise a killer is in their midst. The link between both murders is Katherine. Could Iris's own father be in danger?
