Product Description
by K. E. O'Connor (Author)
The refined, picturesque village of Audley St. Mary falls victim to conspiracy theories and murder when a darkness creeps into my peaceful English idyll. Am I no longer safe in my little piece of paradise...
I'm excited to get an invitation to a posh party at Marchwood Manor. I'm more used to filling profiteroles than eating them, so this is a real treat. But rather than a fun evening of smoked salmon and champagne, I end the night with a body almost landing on my head!
What seems like a tragic accident turns dark when another party-goer dies. Was his death from an accidental overdose, or is something shady seeping through my quaint English village?
I'm on the case. And this time, Campbell wants me involved. It's something I soon regret when I'm attacked by a mysterious man in black and warned away.
Conspiracy theories and a decade-old murder lead me along a dangerous path. Can I puzzle everything out while still keeping my head? Or should I leave the sleuthing to the experts this time?
This mystery has more layers than a Neapolitan cake, and I'm not certain I should mix things up. If I do, it could be the last time I experience the joys of English country living. But... despite how tricky this puzzle is, I won't be defeated.
