They struggle to adjust their lives and are coming to some kind of stability when Claire and Amber discover a body in the church. For the first time Claire is torn between her driving curiosity to find the killer and her need to protect her newly acquired daughter. Her best friend Stella would be a help if she wasn't a suspect. Because the murder occurs in Claire's village, many of her friends and acquaintances are suspects. With the best logic behind, her Claire makes an error in judgment and finds herself facing an immediate and fatal threat.
