Detective Bennett’s new wife is not a hit with his family. Cold, private and mysterious, Una Bennett is the opposite of her well-liked husband.

Detective Webb doesn’t like her either. He can see how unhappily married his friend is.

Then Detective Bennett is found murdered in his own home. Bludgeoned to death as he watched the football on television.

Webb is put in charge of the case and all leads point to Una.

Bennett’s family are sure she killed him. But could one of them be the killer?

Then Webb uncovers a link to the spate of local shop raids that both he and Bennett were investigating before the murder.

Is Una really a cold-hearted killer or has she been framed?

When another Bennett family member is stabbed to death, Webb is in a race against time before the killer strikes again.

Perfect for fans of Peter James, Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves, Roger Silverwood, Roy Lewis, Agatha Christie or Faith Martin.

THE DETECTIVE
Detective Chief Inspector David Webbis in his mid-forties with plentiful brown hair, a hard mouth, and bleak grey eyes. He possesses a tenacious and observant nature, with a knack for delving into intricate details. Webb’s determination shines through as he navigates his investigations, evaluating suspects and analysing clues with a touch of scepticism. He combines his pragmatic and focused approach to work with an artistic appreciation of beauty.

THE SETTING
The fictional county of Broadshire, in the southwest corner of England, exudes charm and picturesque allure. It’s populated by a smattering of idyllic, historic villages — their proximity to the Cotswolds apparent in the honey-coloured stone cottages and the increasingly hilly surrounding countryside.
