About the book
Amateur detectives Jude and Carole find themselves embarking on their third investigation when a horrifying find is uncovered in the basement of a majestic old residence. Grant and Kim Roxby had high hopes for impressing their new neighbors with a lavish dinner party at Pelling House. The following day, the scandalous events of the evening are the hot topic in the town of Fedborough. The guests, which included Jude, were enjoying a delightful meal before their evening was abruptly interrupted by a grisly discovery - a human torso concealed in the cellar.
Quickly informing her friend Carole, Jude rushes back to Fethering to discuss the shocking news. Together, the duo return to Fedborough to probe the locals for information. They can't help but wonder why a community known for being wary of strangers is surprisingly open to assisting with their investigation...
