A Kesley and Lambert novel. The murder of two career women in their suburban home initially looks like the work of an estranged husband, but, as DCI Kelsey investigates, the list of suspects grows. Successful and independent, Celia Heyworth refuses to sacrifice her career for her husband when he gets a new job in the north of England. She stays in their Edwardian home in Cannonbridge, and invites her hairdresser, Beth, to live with her. The two women fall into a harmonious routine: working hard by day, Beth cooking meals for them by night. It is not to last. When the two women are found dead, suspicion falls on Celia's husband. However, DCI Kelsey finds the field crowded with suspects, and there is another tragedy before the surprising truth emerges.
