Meet Rona Parish, a talented biographer who has a skill for writing about the past and encountering danger along the way, and her adorable golden retriever, Gus.
Rona's attempts to uncover the truth about a young woman's birth parents for a new series lead her to a killer whose identity has been a mystery for years.
Rona Parish has almost finished her series of articles on the town of Buckford but is lacking inspiration for her next project - until she is approached by Zara and Tony Crane at her friend Magda's party. Zara was adopted twenty-five years ago when she was six months old, and her recent attempts to find out more about her birth parents have led to a tragic discovery: her birth mother was murdered.
The truth won't stay hidden forever . . .
Zara wants Rona to uncover the identity of her father - and her mother's killer. As Rona investigates, she uncovers shocking connections to Zara's birth mother close to home, while a series of sinister events suggest that someone is determined to keep a devastating secret in the past. But is the past finally about to catch up to them?
A page-turning cosy mystery set in the fictional English market town of Marsborough in the stunning Chiltern Hills.

Fans of M.C. Beaton, Richard Osman, Reverend Richard Coles, G.M. Malliet, Margery Allingham, Betty Rowlands and Faith Martin will love this series.

      Biographer Rona Parish takes on a bizarre assignment when she's approached by a young woman, Zara Crane, who asks Rona to find out who her father was. Zara's mother was brutally murdered when Zara was a baby, but no one, including Zara's adoptive parents, knows her father's identity. Now Zara is expecting her own child, and curiosity about her parentage has prompted her to contact Rona. Clues are sparse after so many years, and no one seems to know anything that can help. But Rona's interviews with those who knew Zara's mother before she died clearly ruffle some feathers, prompting a series of threatening calls and emails. When a familiar childhood rhyme unlocks the mystery, Rona realizes she may be in mortal danger. Cleverly plotted and fluidly written, Fraser's latest entry in this popular series starts out in a low-key, slow-paced way but quickly gathers momentum and hurtles to a startling ending. No-frills thriller fans are the audience for this solid entry from a genre veteran.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
