Jess and Libby take the case, and the questions about Alfie’s death lead to questions about his life. Why did the town’s beloved handyman go into isolation? Why did he inherit, and where did the money come from?
Everyone hopes Alfie will turn up to solve his own murder but in the country’s most haunted hamlet you have to be careful what you wish for. It is St. Sebastian, after all.
