Thea Osborne is once again house sitting in the Cotswolds. Tragedy
strikes within a few hours of her settling in when the cat is run over.
The following day she goes for a walk. Upon her return she finds the
pony out of its barn, and inside the barn the body of a man hanging from
a beam.
Meantime Thea's sister comes for an unexplained visit
and Superintendent Hollis arrives to tell her that the suicide isn't a
suicide. The following evening, while the sisters are out for a meal,
someone breaks into the house and spray paints a message on the wall.
Is it meant for the owners or Thea?
The next shock comes when the
fourteen year old daughter of the house owners shows up unexpectedly.
Other subsequent events make the women uneasy. Author Rebecca Tope
presents the usual suspects, then surprises the reader with a twist to
conclude. A good, quick read.
