Summary: Freya, it's down to you to finish what I started... Freya Lockwood has avoided the quaint English village in which she grew up for the last 20 years. That is until news arrives that Arthur Crockleford, antiques dealer and Freya's estranged mentor, has died... and the circumstances seem suspicious. You will uncover a reservation, I implore you to attend... But when a letter from Arthur is delivered, sent just days before his death, and an ordinary pine chest concealing Arthur's journals including reservations in her name are revealed, Freya finds herself sucked back into a life she'd sworn to leave behind. But beware, trust no-one. Your life depends on it... Joining forces with her eccentric Aunt Carole, Arthur's staunch best friend, Freya follows both clues and her instincts to an old manor house for an 'antiques enthusiasts weekend'. But not is all as it seems; the antiques are bad reproductions and the other guests are menacing and secretive. Can Freya and Carole solve the mystery surrounding the weekend before a killer strikes again?
