Famous diplomat Lance Hale is throwing a party at Lockley Grange to celebrate his latest award. But when he's found lying dead by 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?
An unputdownable English cozy mystery full of cunning clues and surprising twists! If you like Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and J.R. Ellis you'll love Clare Chase.
