About this listen

A gripping historical cozy mystery featuring a fragile young widow who discovers she is stronger than she thinks, an unlikely partnership, and enough suspects to keep you guessing until the final page from the author of the hugely popular Dodo Dorchester, Percy Pontefract, and Saffron Weald mystery series.

An aristocratic family. A murdered butler. And a widowed photographer who sees everything.

The Great War is over, but for widow Gwen Hartwell, the crippling grief lingers. Struggling to honor her late husband's wish that she take over his photography studio, she hires an assistant and accepts a commission to photograph the aristocratic Sedgewick family—an opportunity that could put her fledgling business on the map.

But during the photo session, the butler is found murdered.

Enter Inspector Will Slaughter, an injured war hero with a sharp tongue and a sharper mind, who manages to ruffle Gwen’s feathers during their first interview. However, he quickly recognizes her unique gift for observation and recruits her to use her skills while photographing each suspect.

As Gwen's camera captures evidence and her trained eye spots clues others overlook, she finds herself drawn deeper into a dangerous game as she discovers that each family member harbors dark secrets—affairs, blackmail, financial desperation.

With her loyal assistant Penny at her side, Gwen must use her camera and her wits to unmask a killer before they strike again.
