THE BRAND-NEW BOOK IN THE BELOVED BESTSELLING SERIES.

A high-end weekend cookery course at a beautifully restored Cornish manor promises fine dining, an exclusive guest list and the food event of the year. Instead, it ends in murder.

When the body of Russell Keene is discovered locked inside a commercial freezer at Tredown Manor, Detective Lauren Pengelly is called to St Just to investigate. Russell was the boyfriend and business partner of celebrity chef Lydia Yeoman – and it quickly becomes clear his death was no accident. Someone trapped him inside and left him to die.

As Lauren and her partner Detective Matt Price interview the small group of staff and guests present that night, old resentments and buried secrets begin to surface. Cut off in an isolated manor house, everyone had a motive, and everyone is a suspect.

Then a second guest is attacked, and Lauren realises the killer is still among them, ready to strike again. With time running out, can she uncover the truth before anyone else pays the price?

A gripping, twist-filled mystery that will keep you guessing until the final page. Fans of LJ Ross, Ann Cleeves and Joy Ellis will be hooked.
