      Book Overview

      Mike Brodie leads an erratic life. A professional saxophonist/voice-over specialist, Mike often has to explain away the fact that she isn't actually a man, as so many tend to assume given her name and business. Paul, Mike's irritatingly pushy manager, ensures that her diary is always full to the seams with bookings, so she spends her time rushing between various gigs and voice-over jobs, while simultaneously looking out for her now grown-up goddaughter, Raffi. When Mike at last decides it's time for a well-earned break, she heads for Bewick Grange in Ruttersford, a stately home maintained by her friend, Maggie. As she approaches the house down a heavily wooded road, her car is attacked by a group of men, causing her to swerve and crash. Despite appearances, however, this turns out to be a mere case of mistaken identity, but it is not the last of the strange happenings that begin to plague the small village of Ruttersford. When Mike discovers a body floating in an ornamental pool, she quickly finds herself swept up in a tale of murder, mystery and intrigue . .
