THERE IS THE PICTURE OF A MURDERER IN THIS WINDOW. GUESS WHO?

The sunny and peaceful resort town of Crestwood should be just the restorative holiday Detective Mark Easts needs. But was returning to the scene of his last case really the best place to take a break from crime solving?

When the charming Mary Cassidy vanishes, Mark does his best to ignore the case in hopes of salvaging his holiday. But when a brutalised body is discovered soon after, Mark can hardly walk away from the crime.

As he delves deeper into Mary’s disappearance, Mark begins to unmask the real woman behind Miss Cassidy’s ladylike facade. And as more and more secrets come to the surface, Mark must act quickly before anyone else becomes a victim.

Hilda Lawrence delivers a viciously delicious mystery that triumphs as a worthy sequel to Blood Upon the Snow. A Time to Die was first published in 1945.
