But most of all, remembering her neighbours faces at the book reading, Julia wonders if one of them could have lost the plot enough to kill...As Julia interrogates the suspects, she walks straight into another scene of murder and mayhem, and realises Vincents manuscript is now missing. Theres someone out there whos deadly serious about keeping their secrets...
