The restoration of a stately home takes a deadly turn in the gripping new Bea Abbot mystery.
No one had been more
surprised than Julian to find he was the heir to Marston Hall, a stately home
in the Home Counties. His hitherto unknown relatives had done their best to
ensure he didn't live to inherit, but with his ill-wishers in jail, Julian and
his wife Polly celebrated the birth of their son and heir and set about the
uphill task of restoring the neglected Tudor mansion to its former glory.
Bea Abbot is called in
when yet another attempt is made on Julian's life and the corpse of a woman is
found in the stables at the Hall. Could the relatives who targeted Julian
before be behind this murder, and what is the link between the dead woman and
the Marston-Lang family? Something wicked is afoot at Marston Hall, and Bea is
determined to get to the bottom of it.
