Something doesn't feel right to Thea, who is ill at ease in the village, and soon her intuition is proved to be right. A local boy, Stevie Horsfall, is found brutally strangled, with his mother as prime suspect. Thea, believing in her innocence, embarks on a mystery, taking her through the maliciously entangled lives of the village residents, to London and beyond.

This was book 10 I believe in the Cotswolds series. It was just an ok read for me. Thea, the main character, did a lot of thinking and thought processing in the book and it became a bit boring re-hashing everything we knew so far about the mysteries and deaths in the book.
I would like to have seen way more action and way less thinking on Thea's part. I figured out the killer not even half way through the book. It was not rocket science and was very easy to figure out. The ending had a big character development on Drew Slocombe's part. Drew is a funeral director basically and has his mind on Thea and it goes both ways. I am pretty sure they will end up together.
So all in all it was just ok, just too much re-hash.
