    "description": "<p>Kate Palmer has relocated to Cornwall for a quiet life. Moving into picturesque Lavender Cottage with her sister Angie, the little village of Lower Tinworthy should be the perfect place for their fresh new start. But within weeks of their arrival, there&rsquo;s a death in the close-knit community&hellip; A woman is found dead in the village hall, with her own kitchen knife next to the body, covered in blood. Kate, a practice nurse at the local medical centre, begins to piece together the clues. Fenella was at the centre of village activity, and there seem to be plenty of people who had reason to dislike her. But did any of them hate her enough to kill her? As Kate gets drawn into life in Lower Tinworthy, she begins a close friendship with Detective Inspector &lsquo;Woody&rsquo; Forrest, who is near to retiring &ndash; and determined to crack his last case. Together, they set about solving the mysterious crime. But when someone breaks into Kate&rsquo;s home and leaves a warning note on her pillow, it becomes clear the murderer is prepared to do anything to keep their identity hidden&hellip; Will Kate work out who&rsquo;s responsible, before she becomes the next victim?</p>",
