Prim and proper Carole Seddon is a textbook Fethering citizen, but her neighbor, Jude, the bohemian healer with a colorful past, is not. Despite their differences, they make for an unbeatable, amateur sleuthing team and their skills are needed now more than ever.Sleazy author Burton St Clair has been murdered.
