About the book
#1 NYT-bestselling author Stephanie Laurens returns with a puzzling case in which her favorite sleuths must untangle a slew of secrets to expose a coldblooded murderer.
Henry, Lord Glossup, comes to seek help from Barnaby and Penelope Adair, along with Inspector Stokes, in solving the murder of Viola Huntingdon, a middle-aged spinster found strangled in her country cottage. Despite initial suspicions falling on Henry, he is quickly ruled out as a suspect. With the assistance of the victim's sister, Madeline, the investigators delve into Viola's life to uncover potential motives and suspects.
Living in a small village with a limited number of residents, the mystery of Viola's 'secret admirer, H' baffles everyone. How could she have concealed a visitor in such a close-knit community? As they follow leads involving missing jewelry and shady characters, the puzzle begins to unravel, leading to unexpected revelations.
As the investigators follow the trail of clues, they must navigate through deceit and misdirection to uncover the truth behind Viola Huntingdon's murder. In a village where secrets abound, nothing is as it initially appears. Will they be able to identify the real culprit, or is there more to the story than meets the eye?
