No one in Heppleburn has a bad word to say about Alice Parry . . . but here she is, murdered in her own backyard on a bitter St.
David’s Eve. And when detective Stephen Ramsay starts asking questions
in the village, a more ambiguous picture begins to emerge. Yes, old Mrs.
Parry was loved by everyone, but sometimes her kindness had caused
trouble. Yes, her two nephews were devoted to her, but they didn’t

the uneasy village. Meanwhile, the suspects keep rolling in, and Heppleburn’s friendly neighbourhood killer continues his nasty piece of work . . . Views: 32
