The latest in the Cotswold Mystery series sees Thea Osborne agreeing to do a second spell of
house-sitting for Lucy Sinclair in her new home in Northleach. Lucy is scheduled for an
operation on her back in Oxford and needs Thea to look after things for a few days. Thea is
glad of the change of scene and soon meets several of the townsfolk and it appears that few of
them have any liking for Lucy. When a man is found dead in a Northleach house and turns out to
be Lucy's stepson Thea is once again at the very heart of a police investigation.
