Alaric Thorne dies at his own dinner table, mid-toast, with a glass of port in his hand and eleven guests watching him do it.
Inquiry agent Odile Vance is summoned to Thorncross Hall before the funeral, hired to find a private answer before the county's curiosity turns the family into entertainment. Six guests had reason enough to want Alaric Thorne dead. And on the night he died, a seventh figure was seen crossing the causeway from the old drowned chapel-a shape the servants swear belonged to a ghost the fen has told stories about for generations.

Six guests had reason enough to want Alaric Thorne dead. And on the night he died, a seventh figure was seen crossing the causeway from the old drowned chapel-a shape the servants swear belonged to a ghost the fen has told stories about for generations.
Vance doesn't believe in ghosts. She believes in bootprints, motives, and the particular silence of a town that would rather close a case than solve it.
The Guest Who Wasn't There is a slow-burn, atmospheric mystery set in the fen-bound town of Marrow's End-the first in a series where not every truth gets to end with an arrest, and the reader is left, deliberately, to sit with the same uncertainty as the detective herself. Book One of the Marrow's End Mysteries.
