An unsolved cold case. An impossible crime. A village full of secrets.
When an ex-police officer-turned-author asks for support for his true-crime memoir, Keera Munroe hopes it will bring much needed sales to her little bookshop business.
But some locals are horrified when they learn Mitch Ravenscroft’s biography features an unsolved murder in their own idyllic village.
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.
