Terrible secrets never die, terrible people do

A ninety-eight-year-old landowner being found dead in his home comes as no surprise to DCI Charles Cook. But the way that Hugo Garfield died is beyond suspicious - hanging from a chandelier in his sprawling Lincolnshire country estate.

As DCI Cook and his team delve into the victim's darkand twisted past, it soon becomes clear that not only did Hugo Garfield have more than a few enemies, but the motive for his murder could lie buried deep in the past.

For Cook and his team, this is no ordinary investigation, but for those who knew Hugo Garfield, his death marks the promise of a truth that nobody can bear to hear.

Who would want to murder a dying man so brutally? How has the story remained untold for so long? And can DCI Cook and his team unravel some of the darkest secrets in local history?

From the bestselling author of the Wild Fens Murder Mysteries, A Secret To Die For is the second installment inthe DCI Cook Murder Mystery series and is perfect for fans of rural crime authors such as JM Dalgliesh, LJ Ross, Simon McCleave, Ann Cleeves, and Val McDermid.

A breathtaking murder mystery that you will never forget, inspired by a classic Dickens tale that we all know and love.

this storyline enthralled me from the start . I listened to it every available moment I had it was that good. it was well written , you swung from one person to the other throughout the story wondering if they were the culprit. . I don't normally like books that go back and forth through time however this was very easy to follow and see where each time period blended with the next. The main character was so well portrayed you felt you really knew him , and the way the story line progressed was just riveting. i like the way it includes characters from the Fells books it makes them blend well. . I admit it made me cry in places and it feels like a loss that I don't have another book to follow it up with. I really hope there is a book 3 coming as would like to see his character develop more .I love the narrator, felt he really told the story well ! a brilliant book

Best audio book i have ever listened to !!
