DETECTIVE SIV DRUMMOND IS BACK IN THIS GRIPPING NEW MURDER MYSTERY YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO PUT DOWN.

A dead body at the local crematorium. Nothing unusual about that . . .

Except this one, found under some flower wreaths on the steps of the chapel, wasn’t meant to be there.

Detective Siv Drummond and her team are on the case.

But the only person who knew the victim goes missing that same day.

The single clue they find is the dead man’s car containing a holiday brochure and a cryptic message:

Remember fun at Mallow Cottage.

What lethal secret lies hidden between the lines? Can Siv piece it all together before the killer strikes again?

Perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Jane Adams, Tana French, Liane Moriarty, Ruth Rendell or Rachel Caine.

MEET THE DETECTIVE

Detective Inspector Siv Drummond is widowed following a tragic accident involving her husband. With everything in London reminding her of the past, she moves from a high-profile squad with the Met to a new job as DI in her old hometown — sleepy, seaside Berminster. She’s still grieving and lonely, but she’s a fighter and she’s smart, which earns her the respect of her colleagues DS Ali Carlin and DC Patrick Hill, and the grudging approval of her DCI, who wants his protégé to get her job.
