When tragedy strikes the reclusive Lancefield family, genealogist Kathryn Clifton finds herself at the heart of a murder investigation …
There have been Lancefields at Salvation Hall since wealthy sugar planter Thomas Moses Lancefield acquired the Cornish manor house in 1738. Invited to curate the family’s dubious heritage, Kathryn thinks she has stumbled upon the opportunity of a lifetime. But as she finds herself drawn deeper into their life, growing closer to the family day by day, it soon becomes clear that the Lancefield family tree is hiding more than its fair share of secrets and lies.
Called to Salvation Hall to track down a ruthless killer, Detective Chief Inspector Ennor Price finds all the evidence – and most of the Lancefield family – pointing towards an obvious suspect. But Price has never been one to settle for low-hanging fruit, and he can’t help thinking that the answer to the crime lies in the sins of the family’s past.
The trouble is, DCI Price doesn’t know too much about history. And it isn’t long before he turns to Kathryn Clifton for help …

I love the series and can't wait for book four!
A quick but emotional read - reading about the cruelty to the dog was heartbreaking but this was a lovely tale of the love and healing that animals can bring to our lives.
I would have given five stars but for the missed typos - a few t...
I get the impression that this could be a nice story but I've had to give up after forcing myself to go as far as 15% of the way through. If this novel has ever been near a remotely professional editor then the author was conned.
