About this listen

When Kirsten Harbourn is found strangled on her wedding day, DI Wesley Peterson makes some alarming discoveries.

Kirsten was being pursued by a stalker, and she had dark secrets her fiancé knew nothing about. But Kirsten's wasn't the only wedding planned to take place that day. At Morbay register office a terrified young girl makes her wedding vows, but a few days later her bridegroom is found dead. Wesley suspects that his death and his bride's subsequent disappearance might be linked to Kirsten's murder. Meanwhile a skeleton is found buried in a farmer's field - a field that once belonged to the family of an Elizabethan playwright. Is his bloodthirsty play, The Fair Wife of Padua, a confession to murder?

i found this book particularly thrilling, although i guessed the bady early on it did not distract from the story, the social side of the story also moved on at an interesting rate

There were all sorts of twists and turns. It was a complicated plot, and many “sub plots”. I really enjoyed it!

Great characters, as always.
