When Meredith Mitchell gives a lone hitchhiker a lift into Bamford one evening, she is left feeling uneasy, for the girl is highly secretive. Why did she ask to be dropped at the beautiful old home of lawyer Andrew Penhallow? Unusually, he is at home, alone. Which is unfortunate, for the next morning he is found murdered in the garden. Superintendent Alan Markby - who knew the man as a young boy - is sent to investigate. Andrew Penhallow certainly had some ghosts in his past. Has one come back to claim him?

"I love this series - especially its main characters. A great British village murder mystery!" — Annette (4 out of 5 stars)
"I love this series - especially its main characters. A great British village murder mystery!"
" A pretty good Mitchell and Markby mystery marred only by the fact that there were not enough potential people who could have committed the murder so you get to the person who did it fairly early and wait for the sleuths to catch up. "
" I liked this book better than the other novel in this series that I read earlier. However, I just don't enjoy this series quite as much as the author's Fran Varady series. I'm not sure why. "
" I couldn't really get into this book for some reason. It just wasn't exciting. I really didn't even care who the murderer was... "
" very good. kept me guessing right up to the end! "
" a nice little mystery; at times a bit dull "
