Invited to a Private View of the work of controversial artist Denzil Willoughby, the good citizens of Fethering are not quite sure what to expect. And it certainly turns out to be a lively and interesting affair, culminating in an embarrassing confrontation between the obnoxious Willoughby and his ex-lover, followed by a heated argument with the gallery owner and a rival artist. But what no one could have anticipated was that the evening would end in sudden, violent death. With the police seemingly happy to accept an official verdict of suicide, Fethering residents Carole and Jude remain unconvinced. The victim may have had a history of mental fragility – but why is her mobile phone missing? And who might have taken it? Deciding to investigate further, Carole and Jude soon discover that the answers lead to more questions – and that at least one Fethering resident has a dark secret to hide.
