From the author of Force of Sister Madeleine Investigates, comes a page-turner of a whodunit that will keep readers baffled to the very end. When two dead bodies are discovered in the old dilapidated gatehouse on the Horsfield estate, not only does it spark fear and panic throughout Chillingley village, but it sets off a chain reaction of suspicion. Who in such a cozy rural backwater, where everyone knows everyone else’s business, could possibly have been driven to murder, and why? As more bodies pile up, and as detectives flounder in their efforts to stop the crime wave and track down those responsible, a plucky band of local heroes embarks on their own perilous mission to solve the mystery at Horsfield Lodge. “Riveting and irresistible. I loved the plot, I loved the characters, I loved it all. A fabulous read and a damn good mystery.” – Caroline Lehman, author Through the Moon Gate “Scary….Horsfield Lodge chilled me to my bones.” - Julia Dawson, author Geneva. “Thrilling, with unexpected twists and turns. This whodunit is one of the best.” - Tania Norris, former host, CBS’s The Wonderful World of Books
