The first instalment in Vera Morris's much-loved Anglian Detective Agency Series.

Laurel Bowman has started a new life as a teacher on the isolated Suffolk coast while she tries to get over the murder of her sister. But it seems she cannot escape from death.

When the headmaster's wife is murdered, the detective in charge, idiosyncratic DI Frank Diamond, soon has a list of suspects. He is no stranger to Laurel, but despite their troubled past, together they start to unravel the truth.

Then the murderer strikes again and Laurel must fight, not just for justice, but for her life.
