β¦ Synopsis
A gorgeous country house, surrounded by sweeping lawns, is warmed by the rising sun. But inside, the lady of the manor will not see the morningβ¦
Police photographer Sukey Reynolds is called to investigate a seemingly routine break-in at the beautiful Dearley Manor estate, but when she arrives, she is shocked to find the body of someone she knows all too well. The owner of Dearley Manor is none other than the wealthy woman whom Sukeyβs husband, Paul Reynolds, left her forβ¦ and she has been murdered.
With her close personal connection, Sukey is officially pulled off the case. But as the police close in on Paul, convinced he is guilty, Sukey realises she has no choice but to try and prove his innocence. He may not have been the worldβs best husband, but heβs no killer.
As she starts to dig around the dead womanβs history, Sukey realises she was certainly no saint. But could one of her neighbours really wanted her dead? Could it be the local businessman with an axe to grind, the faithful housekeeper or the secretive estate manager?
When yet another woman on the Dearley Estate is found dead, Sukey fears that anyone who knows too much about the troubled family is in danger from a dangerous killer. Can she prove Paulβs innocence before itβs too late? And will she be able to nail the culprit before another life is taken?
An absolutely unputdownable murder mystery for fans of P.D. James, Joy Ellis and Faith Martin from the bestselling queen of cozy crime.
