Thea Slocombe is trying to settle into normal family domestic life with
Drew and his two children in Broad Campden. But any sense of cosy
domesticity is shattered when Thea finds the body of a neighbour. No
longer a house-sitter, Thea has no choice but to stay in the village and
deal with whatever happens next, even when this risks damage to her
marriage.
Unconvinced that the swift conclusion made about the death by the police
is the right one, Thea is compelled to follow her nature and investigate
herself. But what repercussions might there be for her, Drew and those
with whom they share this corner of the Cotswolds?
