With her flat a crime scene Anna moves in with her parents but they seem to be behaving oddly.

Heading her first murder investigation is DCI Helen Lavery who is anxious to prove herself. Her attempts to uncover the truth prove elusive, as does her colleague acting Inspector Townsend, who seems bent on undermining her at every turn.

Despite giving a detailed account of her movements at the time of the murder Anna is unable to convince the police of her innocence. New evidence seems to link her to the victim.

As Anna feels the stability she has always enjoyed shifting under her she begins to question her whole life.

Then things begin to happen to people close to Anna. Can  DCI Helen Lavery or Anna unravel the deception that surrounds Anna and find the killer?

An intriguing mystery, that kept me guessing to the end with many twists along the way. Recommended.
