Book description
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?
Rebecca Tope lives on a smallholding in Herefordshire, with a full
complement of livestock, but manages to travel the world and enjoy
civilisation from time to time as well. Most of her varied experiences
and activities find their way into her books, sooner or later. Her own
cocker spaniel, Beulah, is the model for Hepzibah, but is
unfortunately ageing much more rapidly.
