REVEREND CLARE BRAKESPEAR RETURNS IN THIS CHARMING AND DELIGHTFULLY COSY CRIME NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF TILL DEATH US DO PART.

THE PERFECT RETREAT IS ABOUT TO GET DEADLY . . .

When Reverend Clare Brakespear is invited to lead the Morva Hotel's annual 'Refresh and Renew' retreat, she's excited about the change of scene. A weeklong trip to Cornwall promises quiet reflection, sea air and a chance to unwind.

The last thing Clare expects is to find herself in the middle of unfinished business. As the guests arrive, tensions rise and old wounds reopen. Everyone's harbouring a secret and one of them may be the key to solving a year-long missing person case. When new evidence comes to light, Clare must team up once again with the prickly DCI Jackie Carter to uncover the truth - before the retreat turns deadly.
