Book 13 in the Eve Mallow series.
Famous diplomat Lance Hale is
throwing a party at Lockley Grange to celebrate his latest award. But when he’s
found face down in his swimming pool, Eve Mallow is sure someone thought he
deserved to die…
It’s always an occasion when the Hale family descend on their country pile,
Lockley Grange. Almost everyone in Saxford St Peter has been called upon to
dust the rooms, tidy the garden, and cater for the party. Eve Mallow’s delighted
to be invited: years ago she babysat for the Hale children, and she can’t wait
to see how they turned out.
But the night will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. The following
morning, Lance is found dead in his indoor pool. He’d been the life and soul of
the party, but Eve saw him arguing with friends and family. She’s convinced it
was no accident – especially when she finds a threatening note tucked into his
desk drawer.
But who wanted to make sure indiscreet Lance was silenced for good? His
right-hand woman, who could spill the family’s secrets, but won’t say a word?
His older son, who’s drowning in debt, or his younger daughter, whose career
he’d sabotaged?
As Eve sets to work at isolated Lockley Grange with loyal dachshund Gus at her
heels, she uncovers past tragedies, blackmail and hidden cameras watching her
every step. Eve knows she’s wading into dark waters… can she find the killer,
or is she in over her head?
