There's a dead body on the Common, so what else can you talk about over dinner? But for a husband and wife whose marriage is on the rocks, their bank manager, their lawyer and his bimbo girlfriend, is it a safe conversation to have, particularly when a writer of lurid crime fiction is also there to make up the numbers? There's a very sharp knife about the place too. And whatever did happen to the missing librarian?

A mystery novel which reads like a Hitchcock movie.

"Creepy yet hilarious, filled with startling twists and thrills, this one had me laughing even as I was feverishly turning the pages. Only Fidelis Morgan can pull off a caper with such wit and style!" - Tess Gerritsen

"Twisty fun" - Karin Slaughter
