The Cotswolds, 1924. At the Old Forge in the quiet village of Maybury-in-the-Marsh a cry of anguish rings out: lady of the house Amy Phelps has been discovered dead. But with all the windows and doors to her room locked from inside, how \u2013 and by whom \u2013 was she killed?<\/p>\n

Arbuthnot \u2018Arbie\u2019 Swift finds himself in the unlikely position of detective. The celebrated author of The Gentleman\u2019s Guide to Ghost-Hunting is staying at the Old Forge to investigate a suspected spectre, but now the more pressing matter of Amy\u2019s murder falls to him too.<\/p>\n

With old friend Val, he soon uncovers a sorry tale of altered wills, secret love affairs and tragic losses \u2013 and plenty of motives for murder. When events take another sinister turn, Arbie must find the killer, fast. And to do so will mean cracking a most perfectly plotted crime\u2026<\/p>\n

Perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club, The Appeal and The Marlow Murder Club, don\u2019t miss this stunning new series from the multi-million bestselling author!<\/p>\n
