This book brings back Jane Trevally from Don’ t Let Him In for more amateur sleuthing. While walking her dogs, Jane discovers a small white terrier, alone and with no sign of the teenage girl who had been with him. Upon realising the girl has gone missing, Jane agrees to return the dog to its registered owner, who is hours away in London. There, she finds herself standing outside a run-down house called Thornwood – a place she knows all too well. Now, she is determined to find the missing girl and get to the bottom of whatever is happening at Thornwood.
Arnold Prinsloo is back! This followup to An Act of Murder sees our beloved bumbling actor hiding out in the small Karoo town of Victoria. He is itching to get out of his mother’ s potpourri-scented spare room and back to his life in Jozi with Zelda and his Netflix series, no matter the cost. When the beloved doyen of Victoria’ s historical society is found murdered on the eve of the annual antique fair, Arnold is determined not to get involved. But then a second murder rocks the town and he’ s drawn even further in, when, in typical Arnold fashion, he realises that not only are the two murders connected, but he might be responsible for both.
