A Loveday Mystery short story.

Magazine editor, Loveday Ross, clashes with her policeman boyfriend, Detective Inspector Sam Kitto, when he warns her not to get involved in his high profile murder case.

But Loveday is already involved. The dead man's widow has asked for her help.

How can she possibly refuse?

The body of wealthy Cornish boat-builder, Silas Venning, is found hanged in a remote wood. Gossip about how he met his demise is rife amongst the county's party set.

His widow, celebrated artist, Laura Anstey, insists her husband was murdered and enlists Loveday's help to prove it.

Suspicion falls on Laura's friend, the beautiful young Dr Meredith Deering.

Is it malicious tittle-tattle, or had she really been having an affair with Silas?

But when Loveday's best friend, Cassie Trevillick, gets attacked, the stakes get personal...
