Down the Garden Path

Twenty-one years ago, Tessa Fields was left on the vicar's front step, and now she is set on discovering where she really comes from. She believes the answer lies in the village of Flaxby Meade, with the help of two elderly sisters, Hyacinth and Primrose Tramwell.

With some unwilling help from Harry Harkness, the man she secretly loves, Tessa devises a plan: she will pretend to have lost her memory and stay at Cloisters, the Tramwell family home. Before long she grows suspicious. Butler creeps about in his socks and turns up in her wardrobe, the sultry, slippery maid Chantal seems to know far too much about Tessa and Harry, and the sisters play cards with uncanny skill.

The game afoot in this respectable English town is not a parlour game but murder. Tessa must expose the killer before her luck runs out.
