3 posts | 2 read
A sinister disappearance in the beautiful Devon countryside. One glorious summer’s afternoon, Karen Slocombe is visited by her cousin Penn, who unexpectedly asks for husband Drew’s help in tracking down a missing relative, Justine. But why has Penn come to him, and why is she reluctant to get the police involved? Justine’s mother, Roma Millan, an avid beekeeper, is not interested in the whereabouts of her daughter, but husband Laurie senses a troubled history between mother and daughter. Detective Den Cooper joins Drew as the case takes a sinister turn when it is discovered that a small child is also missing. But can the tangle of secrets and lies be unravelled before somebody gets hurt?

The missing daughter of a local beekeeper reappears claiming that she was abducted by her cousin, who had in fact been the first to report that she was missing.

A pleasantly twisty story with all the main suspects telling different stories? The dramatis personae are listed at the beginning but the information would have been better presented as a family tree. Trying to keep straight who was what relation to whom was a nightmare.

The third book in the West Country series. A great cure for insomnia.
