A village murder and a missing husband

Bea Abbot is called to investigate Mona’s murder after Mona’s body is found in the garden of the home she shared with Marcus, her husband. His lost fortune and their arguments over her expensive lifestyle offer an apparent motive, but Marcus has disappeared, and Bea suspects Julian Marston-Lang has left something out. The investigation leads Bea to Marston Hall, where the case’s seemingly straightforward explanation gives way to further questions. The setup brings together village secrets, strained family ties and the uncertainty surrounding who can be trusted.

Julian Marston-Lang calls Bea Abbot in a panic - his glamorous step-cousin Mona has been murdered!

While it seems an open-and-shut case, Marcus has mysteriously vanished. And Bea is sure there's something Julian isn't telling her . . . As she travels down to Marston Hall, Bea is determined to solve the mystery. But she's about to discover that there's more to Mona's death than meets the eye . . .
