Amanda Craig's state-of-the-nation novel, read by Amanda Lawrence.

Quentin and Lottie Bredin's marriage is over. They've also lost their jobs in the recession. As a result, they have been forced to rent out their London house (for an extortionate sum) and moved their family to Devon to live for a year in the hope that their home's value will rise enough to allow them to divorce and buy a flat each.

But Lottie has fallen for life in Devon, especially now that she has found herself a good job working for a local architect. Quentin is less content. To distract him from his woes, including his father's terminal illness, he investigates the gruesome murder of Oliver Randall, the former tenant of their temporary home, which leads him to uncover some very dark secrets.
