Book summary


The murder of a mysterious woman leaves a trail of tragedy, intrigue, and shady suspects in this novel set on the bleak Dorset coast. In life, Kate Sumner was an enigma--part social climber and seductress, part loving wife and mother. In death, she brings together her adoring yet suspicious husband, a sex-obsessed actor, and a drug-addicted high school teacher, all of whom had motives to kill her. It is up to local constable Nick Ingram to decide which of these is the guilty man. A 1999 Publishers Weekly Best Book.
