When Lord William Ashworth is found dead in his manor library during the village's autumn gala, Detective Inspector Aris Thorne faces his most challenging case yet. Trapped by a fierce storm, the killer walks among the guests-and everyone has a motive for murder.
The weapon? A rare antique dagger. The suspects? His beautiful young widow who inherits everything, his bitter estranged son, the family doctor hiding dark secrets, a housekeeper who knows too much and a desperate vicar with financial troubles. Each alibi crumbles under investigation, and every polite smile conceals deadly lies.
As D.I. Thorne peels back layers of village respectability, he uncovers hidden affairs, blackmail, and scandals that run generations deep. When the killer strikes again to protect their secret, Thorne must gather all suspects in the very room where it began for a shocking finale that will leave you breathless.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Louise Penny, this atmospheric whodunit proves that the most dangerous secrets hide behind the most charming facades.
