Thea Osborne's latest house-sitting assignment is a little different to
the rest. Along with her spaniel, Hepzie, Thea finds herself in the
village of Chedworth. She is tasked with creating an inventory of Rita
Wilshire's possessions, requested by her son, Richard Wilshire, after
moving her into a care home. All goes to plan, until Thea and her
fiancé, Drew Slocombe, find Richard dead in a barn.
When family members come knocking, Thea and Drew struggle to give them
answers. The Wilshire family has its own past and, whilst Thea knows it
is not really her business, she cannot help but become involved in the
case. Was Richard's death suicide? Or something more sinister? When the
clues lead them in circles, Thea's relationship with Drew is put to the
test. But there is a crime to solve, and neither of them is willing to
give up just yet...
