The old lady's decaying body lay at the foot of the stairs. The police believe it was simply an accidental fall that killed great-aunt Jane. But was it? Young Australian Belinda Lawrence is convinced it was murder and when she inherits her great-aunt's ancient cottage and garden on the outskirts of Bath, England, she finds herself deep in a taut mystery surrounding her legacy.
A secret room. Unknown intruders. A hidden ancient document. They all contribute to the mounting dread. A second vicious murder by a ruthless killer intensifies the tension and Belinda, now under threat herself, is befriended by two charming men: her neighbour Jacob and real-estate agent Mark Sallinger. But can she trust them? And what interest has befuddled antique dealer Hazel Whitby in the cottage? Could one of them be the killer?

Series: Belinda Lawrence Murder Mystery (#1)
The writing felt clumsy, the characters stereotyped and also the protag was not really likable. She came across as bland, impatient, the motivations or impulses not clear or compprehensible. It felt kind of sketchy.
Very average book. The author has talent but his characters interact in a very clumsy way and his female protagonist acts as though she has been written by a man. The idea for the plot was a good one and the author draws the scene very well, but otherwise not a book ready for prime time.
