Dangerous Secrets (Patricia Fisher: Ship's Detective #9)

What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her, but when she finds out will she hurt you?

Arriving home at her quiet village in the English countryside, Patricia is disturbed to find a glut of police cars outside the house of a person she knows.

The church treasurer has been murdered in his own home. The result of an illicit affair? Or something far more sinister?
There’s no need for Patricia to get involved, but when another friend, a person of high standing in the community is accused and arrested, locals beg her to investigate. But Patricia Fisher isn’t the only sleuth in the village. There is a certain older gentleman and his German Shepherd dog who feel inclined to poke around and the victim’s niece works for a rather well-known wedding planner.

With a super team of sleuths involved, this one should be easy to solve, right? Well, not if someone is lying about what they know and when a second victim is discovered, the casual enquiry becomes a race against time to prevent the death toll escalating.

Can they work together to uncover the truth? Or are they about to learn one brutal fact: Some secrets are best left that way.
