Nancy Pendrick divides her time between London, where she owns a successful cookery school and Frecklemarsh where her husband Oliver has a successful hotel and restaurant. Their semi-detached marriage seems to be showing some cracks when a own develops before a New Year’s Eve party.
Everyone is shocked when her body is discovered a few days later in woods a few miles away.DCI David Webb has to find out what who the murderer is and in the process he discovers a few things that various members of the family would rather have kept secret.
This is the second book in this well written and enjoyable crime series. I usually have several books on the go at once but I found I didn’t want to put this one down and kept reading until I found out exactly what had happened. I didn’t work out who the murderer was until the last chapter – though the clues are there if you look for them. I can thoroughly recommend this book and this series to anyone who likes well written crime novels with interesting plots and characters.
