Keera's crime-fiction bookgroup seizes the chance to solve a real-life crime. But soon it's clear someone will stop at nothing to prevent the truth being exposed. Why were a couple shot dead on the first night they moved to Crossways?Once again Keera asks herself if it isn't true that the loveliest places hide the darkest secrets as she's plunged right into the heart of uncovering truths. ---"I thoroughly enjoyed being in Nicki Thornton's murderous world of a seemingly innocent bookshop." - Kate Wells"Thornton, like Christie, can turn murder into a thoroughly comforting bedtime read." -The Telegraph
