A Dangerous Deceit

February 1927. The remains of a man are found in the grounds of Maxtead Court home of the wealthy Scroope family. Meanwhile Margaret Rees-Talbot is preparing for her wedding to the Rev Symon Scroope - to the disapproval of some residents of Folbury who think it's too soon after the death of her father Osbert found drowned in his bath a few months previously. Before he died Osbert had been writing an account of his experiences as a soldier during the Second Boer War. But what really happened in South Africa back in 1902? Then a second death occurs. And it becomes increasingly clear to the investigating DI Herbert Reardon that at least one Folbury resident has a shocking secret to hide.
