'A fascinating whodunnit to stimulate even the most demanding of amateur sleuths.' T.A. Williams

Retired librarian Jessica much prefers the quiet comfort of her books to real-life drama. But when she travels to the picturesque village of Worth Stone on the Purbeck coast to visit her son Jack and his warm-hearted wife Beth, her peaceful holiday is quickly upended.

What is meant to be a gentle Mother's Day walk along the stunning cliffs takes a sinister turn when a member of their tight-knit group is found dead in a remote, thirteenth-century chapel. The police seem convinced that there has been no foul play but Jessica’s puzzle-hungry mind spots subtle clues they may have missed. Convinced that a murder has taken place, Jessica teams up Beth to uncover the truth.

The unlikely sleuthing duo soon discovers that the idyllic stone cottages of Worth Stone conceal a tangled web of long-held grudges, simmering tensions and desperate secrets. With a circle of suspects who all had a hidden motive to kill, Jessica and Beth must race to unmask a murderer hiding in plain sight.

Number One bestselling author Mary Grand begins a brand new thrilling, edge-of-the-seat cosy mystery series, perfect for fans of Frances Evesham, Faith Martin and LJ Ross.
