As ever with a Horowitz book/ adaptation of one of his own books, there are layers to this story and multiple interlocking plots that both thwart and delight the reader/ viewer. This time author Alan Conway is back on the scene as events begin to take place uncomfortably close to home.
Susan is helping with a struggling hotel in Greece when a combination of a murder almost a decade previously and written about by Conway plus a perceived miscarriage of justice and then the sudden disappearance of Cecily Treherne kick-start a new adventure.
