About this ebook
“A master of plot manipulation. . . . The pleasure here is watching [Inspector] Thanet . . . arrive at an understanding of what would make a person kill for love.” —The New York Times Book Review
The thirteenth novel in the British mystery series featuring Inspector Luke Thanet from the Silver Dagger Award–winning author Dorothy Simpson, “a modern-day version of Agatha Christie” (Booklist).
When playboy Max Jeopard is killed at his own engagement party, Inspector Luke Thanet is called in to investigate and uncovers a host of suspects, including his fiancée, a jealous brother, an ex-girlfriend, and the victim’s future in-laws .
“This English village ‘cozy’ goes down well” —Library Journal

“Pace, plot and subtle characterisations all combine to make this a cracking good read.” —Sunday Telegraph
“Clean writing, shrewd portraits and tight plots.” —Financial Times
