Book description
Carole Seddon's son is about to be married. But as plans for the big
day get underway, Stephen's future parents-in-law, Marie and Harold,
seem desperate to keep the affair as discreet as possible. Then, after a
quiet engagement party, Harold disappears . . . only to be found dead
the next day, in a burnt out car in Epping Forest. While the family try
to deal with their grief, Carole discovers they are concealing secrets
that can be traced back thirty years, to the murder of Marie's best
friend. Now the girl's killer has been released from prison and is back
in his old stomping ground, near Fethering. As Carole enlists the help
of her friend Jude in researching the truth, Gaby returns to London to
find herself in grave danger. Fearing the bride-to-be is the killer's
next target, Carole and Jude must unravel the Martin family's past
before he makes another deadly move . . . and before the happiness of
the impending wedding day is ruined.
Simon Brett worked as a producer in radio and television before
taking up writing full time. He is married with three grown-up
children and lives in an Agatha Christie-style village on the South
Downs. This is his sixth Fethering Mystery.
