Something bad is brewing among a friendly group of book lovers: "A
deliciously Agatha Christie-style mystery that sucks you in from the
first page." --Sibel Hodge, bestselling author of Look Behind You
Imagine nine women meeting. Tea and cake are on the coffee table.
They've come together to share their love of books. They are friends.
They trust each other. It's a happy gathering. What could be more
harmless?
Then scratch the surface and look closer. One is lonely. One is
desperate. And one of them is a killer. When the body of a woman is
discovered on a Cambridge common, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer are called
in to investigate. But the motive behind the crime isn't clear--and it
all leads back to a book club. As the lies, volatile friendships, and
tension among the group rise to the surface, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer
must work out the motive and track down a cold-blooded killer. But just
when they think they're on the right track, a twist in the plot throws
them off course . . .
"Will keep readers guessing till the very end!" --J.A. Baker,
