1949 – Lavinia Rushbrook is planning a lavish weekend party to celebrate the launch of her debut novel. Notables from the worlds of film, music and politics will be there. But some of her guests have their own reasons for accepting Lavinia’s invitation, and the first evening will end in murder.
Is the killer one of her guests, or perhaps the mysterious vagrant who has been seen loitering around the village? Could the vagrant be the victim? Or is the victim Gertrude’s missing niece?
By morning there is more than one dead body.
One thing is for certain. Lavinia’s party will be remembered for all the wrong reasons, and Gertrude’s life will never be the same again.
