Welcome to Nether Dene - the cosy English village where a crumbling manor, a long-buried secret and a second chance at first love are about to collide . . .
Discover multi-million bestselling author Faith Martin writing romantic mysteries as Maxine Barry.
Thirteen years ago, Oriana Foster left the Cotswold village that changed her life and broke her heart.
Now she's back. With a fortune from an anonymous benefactor and the keys to the crumbling Manor House.
But she hasn't come home for roses around the door. She's come for the truth.
Because she didn't kill Rollo Seton. But somebody in this pretty little village knows who did.
What she didn't count on was Lowell. Rollo's younger brother. Her first love . . . who's convinced she's guilty.
Yet as the summer stretches long and golden, neither can pretend the old spark has gone out.
But someone in Nether Dene has kept a secret for thirteen years. And they'll do anything to keep it buried.
Can Oriana uncover the truth before the killer strikes again . . . and possibly get a second chance at love?
This cosy romantic mystery with a killer hidden in plain sight is perfect for readers who adore a charming English village, a swoony slow-burn romance and a murderous twist they'll never see coming.
For fans of R.L. Killmore's Cinnamon Falls Mysteries, Nora Roberts, Catherine Cowles, Claire Kingsley, Elle Cosimano and Pretty Little Liars.
This book was previously published as The Lying Game.
