**Book One of the DS Rachel Lambert Series**

***This novel is now available to Pre-Order through Amazon in Ebook format for £1.99.***

Detective Sergeant Rachel Lambert had celebrated her promotion and was looking forward to a romantic anniversary weekend away with her husband, Nathan Lambert. The rustic wooden lodge in the Cotswolds had been booked months previously, her bags had been packed and despite the hangover she had woken up suffering with on the Saturday morning, the pair of them were going to enjoy the celebrations of their sixth year of married life.
Nathan had brought her breakfast in bed, fuelled up the car to the brim and packed their overnight bags into the boot. Everything was ready. All she had left to do was to shower and apply her make-up and she would be ready.
Everything quickly changed though, when barely out of the shower her mobile began to ring. The body of a 21-year-old student had been discovered by a dog walker on the grounds of Museum Gardens in the city centre and she had been assigned the lead on the case. The young woman had been strangled and her body dumped behind a bush.
On paper DS Lambert quickly had a shortlist of suspects; the boyfriend, the boyfriends ex-girlfriend and another student who she had rejected just months previously. They all had motives, opportunity and the means to commit the murder. It appeared to be a murder of passion, but this was a weekend when plans went out of the window and in a sinister twist she found herself racing against the clock to catch the killer.All Rights Reserved
