Early one morning, Lilah Beardon finds her father drowned on his own farm. The police assume his death was a tragic accident.
But Lilah isn’t convinced. She knew her father better than anyone, and a clumsy accident doesn’t seem likely.
Everyone else in this pretty village hated the crabby old farmer: from his neglected wife Miranda, to the parish vicar . . . but is one of the villagers a cold-blooded killer?
Working alongside the handsome but bumbling Detective Constable Den Cooper, Lilah is determined to uncover the truth.
And then another body is discovered . . . Will Lilah be able to crack the case before she becomes the killer’s next target?
