While nobody suspects anyone at the tavern could possibly have anything to do with the death, Byron knows that nobody should be removed from suspicion until the murderer is caught. Despite the many years that have passed since the victim's death, his investigation leads him not only into the murky secrets hidden within the seemingly quaint rural village, but also into a mystery that threatens the lives of everyone who lives in the village – especially when it becomes clear that the killer doesn’t want his secrets being revealed. Lilias Holford’s return to Saint Hubert is nothing like she’d expected. Her qualms evaporate the instant she disembarks from the carriage and finds a joyous welcome awaiting her. Despite the acerbic wit of her meddlesome aunt, Lilias is determined to try to forge a life for herself in Saint Hubert. However, the discovery of the body, and the mystery of who killed him, soon turns her life upside down, especially when she finds herself battling the intriguing investigator from the Star Elite, Byron Mandeville. Determined to prove that Mr Mandeville is completely wrong to suspect anyone in her family might be responsible for the dead man’s murder, Lilias finds herself challenged in every way – especially when the killer makes it clear that he doesn’t appreciate her digging up the past and decides to target her and her family next. less
