The secrets we never tell are the most dangerous of all.
Arriving home at her quiet village in the English countryside, Patricia is disturbed to find a glut of police cars outside the house of a person she knows.
The church treasurer has been murdered in his own home. The result of an illicit affair? Or something far more sinister?
There's no need for Patricia to get involved, but when another friend, a person of high standing in the community is accused and arrested, locals beg her to investigate. But Patricia Fisher isn't the only sleuth in the village. There is a certain older gentleman and his German Shepherd dog who feels inclined to poke around.
With a super team of sleuths involved, this one should be easy to solve, right? Well, not if someone is lying about what they know and when a second victim is discovered, the casual enquiry becomes a race against time to prevent the death toll escalating.
Can they work together to uncover the truth? Or are they about to learn one brutal fact: Some secrets are best left that way.

At school, the author was mostly disinterested in every subject except creative writing, for which, at age ten, he won his first award. However, calling it his first award suggests that there have been more, which there have not. Accolades may come but, in the meantime, he is having a ball writing mystery stories and crime thrillers and claims to have more than a hundred books forming an unruly queue in his head as they clamour to get out. He lives in the south-east corner of England with a duo of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles, and vineyards, he doubts he will ever leave, the beer is just too good.
