- Synopsis
- “Excellent character drawing” and “a thrilling climax” propel a suspenseful mystery from the author of An Afternoon to Kill (The New York Times). Linda Campion, a mother to four children, is looking forward to her husband returning from the war. Yet immediately after his return, Linda’s body is found at the bottom of the stairs at the Hawkswood Estate. Everyone’s first instinct—she fell. But when the cause of death is found to be something much more sinister, everyone becomes a suspect. With no known enemies, and a house full of people who adore her, the police are clueless as to who might be the killer. As mysteries unravel and skeletons come out of the closet—including a cheating husband, a jealous mistress, and a man whose affections remain unreturned—the chilling truth is slowly revealed . . . Praise for Shelley Smith “Brilliant.” —The Observer “Stylish thriller.” —The Daily Herald “Beautifully written.” —The Spectator “A totally original work of crime fiction.” —Julian Symons, author of The Colour of Murder
