Sasha Blue’s life is far from perfect – too many late nights, too much wine and pizza, and bad luck with men. As she scrapes a living solving missing dog cases and bad hair days, she dreams of one day opening her own detective agency.
When her niece goes
missing in the English village of Parva Crossing, Sasha leaves London, and
books herself into the local pub to put her detective skills to the test, with
the help of attractive local artist, Cal.
Quaint and pretty at
first glance, Parva Crossing, sliced in two by the Black River, has a darker
underbelly of hidden secrets and lies, madness, crime, misunderstandings, and
even murder.
Among its varied residents, Dorothy Newton spends her time
spying on her neighbours from her windows, while her husband, George, worries
obsessively about his elderly mother, all alone in her cottage. Mrs Pringle
runs the local chemist, providing a running commentary on village scandals, not
that she’s a gossip, mind… while Barbara Fenton sits alone in her garden, at
night, seeking the bottom of a vodka bottle.
Sasha is determined to uncover the truth behind the cruel
poison pen letters that someone is sending, and in doing so, finds out secrets
that some residents thought were hidden for good. But would they stoop to
murder to keep their past a secret? And why does it seem that two different
people are sending the letters? Will the poisonous letters lead her and the
police to her missing niece? Who keeps dumping bodies in the Black River? Does
the village have more than one killer, or is there a serial killer in their
midst?
Murder, mystery, romance, and light humour all weave their
way through this psychological crime suspense thriller, as village lives are
changed forever.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Ruth Rendell, and Sue
Grafton.
