Drew Slocombe has just buried a woman in a field according to her
wishes. The following day he is accosted by a member of the local
council saying that he had no right to do the burial there. When later
in the day, the councillor is found dead, Slocombe becomes a prime
suspect.
Slocombe is shocked to learn that the aforementioned woman had left him
her house, on the condition that he live in it and turn the property she
was buried in, into a natural graveyard. It is enough for the police
to charge him with the murder of the councillor. On top of that, the
wife of the victim is talking about him back in the community where the
murder occurred.
Thea Osbourne, who was house sitting for woman, becomes entangled in the
story and through her connections with the police helps to untangle
this murder mystery. Author Rebecca Tope has provided the reader with a
quick read, and a surprising murderer that isn't revealed until almost
the last page.
