In the seemingly tranquil village of Northwell, the discovery of a millionaire's body sets in motion a chain of events that will test the limits of Detective Clara Finch's skills. The seemingly impossible circumstance – every resident of his manor claims to have been in the same room at the precise time of death – presents a unique challenge. This is not a simple whodunit; it is a race against time, a battle against carefully constructed alibis, and a descent into the hidden agendas and unspoken tensions simmering beneath the surface of seemingly perfect lives. This book is a fast-paced thriller, a tightly woven puzzle designed to keep you guessing until the very end. Prepare for a series of brief, impactful encounters, each one a piece of the intricate puzzle Detective Finch must solve. Through astute observation and skillful deduction, she will confront suspects who are each as intricate and complex as the crime itself, highlighting the multifaceted nature of human behaviour. We meet those who harbor hidden resentments, those consumed by greed, and those who skillfully hide their true intentions behind a facade of composure. Each interaction adds to the complexity, and the truth is often discovered in the subtle nuances of human interaction and behaviour. The investigation is not a linear journey, but rather, a series of carefully chosen steps, each one revealing more of the larger picture. There are moments of frustration, moments of breakthrough, and the constant pressure of the ticking clock. Expect unexpected twists, red herrings galore, and a resolution that will leave you both satisfied and perhaps, a little surprised. This is a mystery that takes you beyond the simple detection of a killer and delves into the heart of human motivation – the reasons behind the crimes, the driving forces that shape our choices, and the enduring impact of actions on individuals and the wider community.
