Description Imagine nine women meeting.
Tea and cake are on the coffee table.
They've come together to share their love of books.
They are friends.
They trust each other.
It's a happy gathering.
What could be more harmless?Then scratch the surface and look closer.
One is lonely.
One is desperate and one of them is a killer.
When the body of a woman is discovered on a Cambridge common, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer are called in to investigate.
But the motive behind the crime isn't clear.
And it all leads back to a book club.
As the lies, volatile friendships and tension among the group rise to the surface, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer must work out the motive and track down a cold-blooded killer.
But just when they think they are on the right track, a twist in the case throws them off course.
