‘Wow what a book!… One of the best mysteries I have read! Loved it from start to finish and couldn't put it down! A masterpiece!’ Renita D’Silva, 5 stars

As the sun rises, a wealthy young woman – Samantha Seabrook – is found drowned in the ornamental fountain of a deserted Cambridge courtyard, the only clue – an antique silver chain wound tightly around her throat. 

It’s Tara Thorpe’s job to discover what happened to Miss Seabrook – but the case becomes personal when she learns that Samantha had been receiving death threats… rather like the one that landed on Tara’s doorstep the night the woman died.

Together with Detective Inspector Garstin Blake, Tara tracks the killer to the dank and dangerous fens on the outskirts of the city. But there’s something Tara can’t quite admit to Blake about her past – and it could make all the difference to whether they live... or die.

An absolutely gripping page-turner that will keep you hooked until the very last page. Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, LJ Ross and Joy Ellis. The first in a series of unputdownable Cambridge mysteries featuring Thorpe and Blake.

‘I absolutely loved this book. I have read it cover to cover in less than a day and I cannot wait to get my sticky mitts on the second book… grabbed me by the throat from the opening chapter and refused to let go until the very end… The story was a fantastic puzzle, filled with twists, turns, red herrings, esoteric clues, dubious characters, tensions, rivalries, all set against the beautiful backdrop of Cambridge and the menacing emptiness of the surrounding Cambridgeshire fens.’ A Little Book Problem, 5 stars

‘Clever, twisty stories, with great characters…
