Chief inspector Hannah Scarlett and her cold case team have been sent a
note about the murder of Warren Howe, accusing his wife of being the
culprit. Is there enough evidence to reopen the case? DS Nick Lowther,
who had been in on the initial investigation, feels that the case isn't
worth re-opening.
It is years on and now, quite suddenly, the family of the victim are
getting anonymous hate letters. Thrown into the mix is historian Daniel
Kind, a friend of Scarlett's. Once he learns of the investigation, he
decides to surreptitiously help the chief inspector. Kind is also
trying to organise the garden of the cottage he and his partner,
Miranda, recently purchased. There is a mystery in the garden that the
historian/detective in Daniel would like to solve.
A suicide in the community throws everyone for a loop. Is it tied to
the original murder? As the investigation progresses, DS Lowther throws
a spanner in the works. This isn't the only surprise author Martin
Edwards has in store for the reader before drawing this murder mystery
to a conclusion. A thoroughly good read.
