As she digs deeper into the woman's background, she discovers a tangled web of lies, secrets and at least three very likely suspects .

After two disastrous house-sitting incidents in which she unwittingly became embroiled in murder and mayhem, she is only too happy to have a bit of time to concentrate on her blossoming relationship with DI Phil Hollis.
