Synopsis

Delivering twist after brilliant twist, this clever whodunnit will keep you guessing until the final page.

One dead heiress.
A fortune hanging in the balance.
A cunning guest who’ll do anything to claim the money for herself.

CAN YOU UNLOCK THE SECRET OF BAGNETT HALL?

Janet Baxter is a con woman on the run from her obsessive ex. One dark and stormy night, she stumbles across rambling old Bagnett Hall. She’s struck gold.

Bridget Messite, the lady of the house, invites her in. She offers Janet a job and a place to stay. No questions asked.

The arrangement suits Janet just fine. Until Bridget drops dead, leaving Janet with quite the dilemma.

The mistress of Bagnett Hall was a timid recluse with no family or friends to mourn her. Everything that was hers could now belong to Janet.

But little does Janet realize, she’s not the only one hiding a secret. And this one might just be worth killing for . . .

Perfect for fans of Midsomer Murders, Agatha Christie, Frances Lloyd, Catherine Moloney, Anthony Horowitz, Simon Brett or Ann Cleeves.

THE SETTING
Oldminster is a city with a past and an ancient cathedral at its heart. Visit the twisty maze-like streets of the old quarter, and prepare to fall in love. But cross over the river — to the seamy side of town — and you’ll discover a secret side to this picture-perfect little place. Oldminster might seem like a place for summer rain and golden sunsets, but like Miss Marple’s village, it’s cram-full of wickedness.

THE DETECTIVES
DS Glyn Edwards
Thirty-something DS Edwards lives with his wife Sandra, but his home life is anything but blissful. Is his career about to cost him his marriage? Or can he find a way to reconcile the two? Either way, Glyn is a very hands-on detective who never gives up on a case. He works hand-in-glove with his superior officer . . .

DI Paul French
Redoubtable Detective French has always been a stickler for order, detail and procedure — until the arrival of his baby daughter late in his marriage to Moira turned his orderly world upside down. Still, he doesn’t suffer fools gladly, and is more than a match for certain prickly, well-to-do residents of Oldminster.
