About this audiobook
Judith Spears was looking for retirement in a cozy English village and instead found murder, and she’s at it again when a stranger dies in a doctor’s surgery. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Robert Thorogood.
Someone has died in the doctor’s surgery—and no one knows how they got there.
When an unidentified body is discovered behind a locked door in Little Pickton, Judith Spears finds herself once again at the centre of a baffling mystery.
With DS Raymond Collins and DC Sarah Eastly struggling to untangle a web of feuding colleagues, bitter family rivalries, and long-buried secrets, Judith does what she does best—asks questions no one else dares to.
But this time, the stakes are higher.
As tensions rise and another murder looms, Judith must navigate not only a dangerous killer—but an am-dram murder mystery evening threatening to push someone over the edge…
And a determined Met detective digging into a past she’s worked hard to leave behind.
Because in Little Pickton, nothing stays hidden forever.
And this time—
the truth could be deadly.
