Charming rookie officer Jez is the perfect distraction... but is he a little too good to be true?<br /> <br /> <strong>Then Tara makes a startling breakthrough</strong> when she finds an unsettling family heirloom hidden in the late victim's bedroom - a golden statue of a sinister-looking cat with emerald eyes. As she traces its origins, Tara begins to realise that Julie's murder is no one-off crime, but a sinister plot with its roots in a terrible secret that was covered up decades earlier.<br /> <br /> <strong>An unputdownable page-turner, perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Agatha Christie and Joy Ellis.</strong> Can be read as a standalone.<br /> <br /> The Tara Thorpe Mystery Series: <br /> Book 1 - <em>Murder on the Marshes</em><br /> Book 2 - <em>Death on the River</em><br /> Book 3 - <em>Death Comes to Call</em><br /> Book 4 - <em>Murder in the Fens</em></p><p>Readers absolutely love Clare Chase: <br /> '<strong>Literally couldn't put it down!! </strong>This was an excellent thriller with well-developed characters and great twists!!
