Product Description:

Winner of the CWA John Creasey/New Blood Dagger Award

It's been ten years since Phoebe Marbury's husband disappeared from their country manor, Streech Grange, when one afternoon her gardener discovers a decomposed body in the ice house. Now in her mid-thirties, Phoebe shares the manor with two unmarried friends, and the rumors in the village suggest they're up to something--witchcraft, lesbianism, child abuse. Chief Inspector Walsh is eager to find out for himself when he's called to investigate the body. What he discovers is a faceless, contorted corpse and three women who have no interest in helping out the police, and clearly know something they're not telling him.

Minette Walters's first novel gives a raw, contemporary spin to a classic mystery convention, and the result is "splendid . . . an extraordinary debut" (St. Petersburg Times).

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - I loved this one! Finally, I'm beginning to read Minette Walters. It's a delight that I've been denying myself since I've been busy with a bunch of other books and series. I've seen some of these dramatized on television, and thought they were great, if a bit creepy! The dramatizations were good, but this book was great! It's been awhile since I've read a book that kept me spellbound throughout the whole thing. I love Ms. Walters' characterizations. Her depiction of the three women of Streech Grange is remarkable. These women are so real, and so are the secrets that they are hiding. We also get a wonderful example of two cops that are as different as can be. Inspector Walsh is a man possessed with a hidden agenda of his own, and Sergeant McLoughlin is a real enigma at the beginning, but turns out to be a tower of strength and rectitude. A new take on "Good Cop, Bad Cop" for sure. I simply can't wait to read the next book after enjoying this one so much. + See Full Customer Review
