When Belinda Lawrence inherits her great-aunt's cottage on the outskirts of Bath, she expects a quiet life in this new neighbourhood. Perhaps a little gardening, making new friends
But Belinda finds herself deep in the mystery of her great-aunt’s sudden death, and surrounded people she's not sure she should trust. Are her neighbours, Rosemary and Jacob, what they seem? Why is real-estate agent Mark Sallinger so keen for her to sell the property? Is local antique dealer Hazel Whitby only interested in Belinda's furniture?
Antique plans for the cottage garden give Belinda the clue to her great-aunt's murder, but soon Belinda herself is the prey of a determined and ruthless killer.
Very average book. The author has talent but his characters interact in a very clumsy way and his female protagonist acts as though she has been written by a man. The idea for the plot was a good one and the author draws the scene very well, but otherwise not a book ready for prime time.
