Oxfordshire, 1962. As May Day dawns in the peaceful village of Middle Fenton, a young woman is found brutally strangled, her body tied up with ribbons in the middle of the green. A week later, her boyfriend is found hanged in a local barn, and the police assume guilt over murdering his beloved has driven him to suicide – but not everyone is convinced.

WPC Trudy Loveday and Coroner Clement Ryder are called in to investigate, and it doesn’t take long for them to suspect a far more chilling truth: a double murderer is at large.

As the pair dig deeper, it becomes clear the killer will do anything to protect their secret – even kill again. With time running out, can Trudy and Clement unmask the culprit before they become the next victims?

A gripping, twisty cosy crime novel, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Richard Osman and M.C. Beaton.
