Description
Jane Ferguson suffers from horrific nightmares which she claims not to be able to explain. And when her traumatised 6-year-old daughter finds Jane dead, hanging by the neck in the hallway of the family’s seaside home, it is assumed she took her own life.
But routine police enquiries reveal evidence indicating that Jane has been murdered, and her businessman husband Felix, commodore of the local yacht club, becomes the chief suspect.
Called in to launch a major inquiry, Detective Inspector David Vogel discovers that nothing connected with Jane Ferguson’s death is as it seems. Gradually, he uncovers a deeply disturbing story involving a succession of shocking family secrets stretching back over three decades.

Margaret D, Reviewer
For fans of detective fiction in the British tradition this is a must. It is more your PD James than Val McDermid so will suit those who prefer a more sanitised murder (if that can be said of any murder) with less gore and torture – mind you still the same result!
In this David Vogel is our Detective Inspector called in to investigate an apparent suicide of a young married mother of twins. I have never met DI Vogel before, but I liked him, not flashy, not given to flights of fancy, but reliable, responsible and very clearly a holder of high standards. A regular good old sort – a thoroughly decent chap. Now the plot – well that was very satisfactory too, the characters were interesting, perhaps a bit two dimensional or clichéd but it all worked and I was left feeling very satisfied with the whole thing.
Can’t say fairer than that. So if, proper policing (with the usual interference from those higher ups) is your bag, and you like thoroughly decent cops – this one is for you – a fair cop!
Thank you to the author, publishers and NetGalley for providing an ARC via my Kindle in return for an honest review.
