Poor judgements have tragic consequences... The latest in the unputdownable Teifi Valley series The Teifi Valley's coroner, Harry Probert-Lloyd, is struggling: with the blindness that drove him home from London, with the county magistrates and with an estate teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. He needs an escape, so when Dr Benton Reckitt is asked to give a second opinion on the apparently natural death of young Lizzie Rees, Harry willingly goes with him. But mistakes are made. Harry becomes embroiled in local rumours and in Esther Rees's search for the truth behind her daughter's sudden death. What is Lizzie Rees's father hiding? Was somebody else in the farmhouse on the night she died? And, most crucially for Harry, will he be able to uncover the mystery, and solve personal difficulties that threaten to tear him apart? Perfect for readers of Laura Shephard-Robinson, Stuart Turton or Elly Griffiths, this is a superb historical mystery that will keep you hooked until the very end. Alis Hawkins is the author of more than ten books, and is widely recognised as one of our finest and most entertaining writers of historical mystery. She is a member of the Society of Authors and the Crime Writers Association. She is proud to work for the National Autistic Society. She lives in Gloucestershire, in the Forest of Dean.
