Sequins, Secrets and Murder
From sequins to secrets, Phoebe Elkin swaps couture for corpses - and the village will never look the same.
Phoebe Elkin suspects her obsession with puzzles might be a medical condition. How else to explain trading haute couture for tea with intelligence officers and gruesome murder scenes?
Birchdale was meant to be a quiet posting - an opportunity to ask polite questions, size up the locals over jam and cream scones. But when a body is discovered in the village church, staged in a chilling tableau that echoes a centuries-old Jesuit execution, Phoebe's peaceful exile frays faster than a poorly stitched hem.
Secrets are vanishing from a nearby government lab, and someone's willing to kill to protect them. The police are overstretched, the vicar has unwavering faith in his flock, and Birchdale's postcard charm is beginning to fray. Armed with intuition, two trusted colleagues, and a gift for connecting the dots, Phoebe launches a discreet but relentless audit of suspects and secrets.
Another murder, and the stakes rise. Is Phoebe solving a mystery - or becoming part of one? Someone is playing a very old game, and losing isn't an option.
