When Thea Osborne agrees to house-sit for Oliver Meadows, she expects a few days of peace and quiet. Unsure of how to deal with her feelings for Drew Slocombe, Thea hopes that some time alone in the historic town of Winchcombe will help clear her head. But with the disturbing discovery of a dead body in the gardens of the house, she quickly finds herself at the heart of a sinister mystery. Thea must work quickly to unravel the secrets kept by Meadows and his brother, Fraser, and find what lies beneath the surface of their turbulent relationship. But without Drew there to help her, she finds it ever more difficult to uncover the truth. And amidst the chaos caused by the investigation, will Thea find time to deal with her own problems?
'The thing about Rebecca's Cotswold series is that it is consistently good. Her characters are becoming as familiar as an old, comfortable pair of slippers - you know exactly what she is going to serve up, and it's like reading about long-lost members of your family. Great whodunnits, serial characters, wonderful locations - what's not to like?'Books Monthly
