The restoration of a stately home takes a deadly turn in the gripping new Bea Abbot mystery. No one had been more surprised than Julian to find he was the heir to Marston Hall, a stately home in the Home Counties. His hitherto unknown relatives had done their best to ensure he didn’t live to inherit, but with his ill-wishers in jail, Julian and his wife Polly celebrated the birth of their son and heir and set about the uphill task of restoring the neglected Tudor mansion to its former glory. Bea Abbot is called in when yet another attempt is made on Julian’s life and the corpse of a woman is found in the stables at the Hall. Could the relatives who targeted Julian before be behind this murder, and what is the link between the dead woman and the Marston-Lang family? Something wicked is afoot at Marston Hall, and Bea is determined to get to the bottom of it.

The 1960's were very hard times of going without and learning how to survive. They were times of eating food that was cooked on top of a pot-bellied stove during the hard winter months. Mary Evans Ridley was a hard working, stay at home mom that lived a life filled with violence, torment, and shame. From a marriage that was destined for destruction, six children were born. Mary fights frantically to protect her children from her violent husband, but the effects of raising children in an unhealthy environment ultimately produced catastrophic results. The tragic death of both sons and the abusive relationships that her four daughters endured was the result of family violence. Rosemary, the youngest child, seemed to pattern her life by learned behavior. Responding to men that had similar traits such as her dad's only caused her to retreat even deeper into a dark pattern of hopelessness and despair- and into the corridors of a mind filled with fear, confusion, and anxiety.
