Summary

When workmen converting former girls' boarding school Chadleigh Hall into a luxury hotel discover a skeleton in a sealed room, DI Wesley Peterson and his boss, Gerry Heffernan, are called in to investigate. But within minutes they have a second suspicious death on their hands: a team of marine archaeologists working on a nearby shipwreck have dragged a woman's body from the sea. And it becomes clear that her death was no accident.

The dead woman's husband may be linked with a brutal robbery of computer equipment, but Wesley soon discovers that the victim had secrets of her own. As he investigates Chadleigh Hall's past and the woman's violent death, both trails lead in surprising directions.

This was the 2nd time I listened. It was even better. Many previously missed nuances.

A contrast of the past and present

Time never alters the need for power and the greed of humanity, this story makes it clear that our lives change but our sins remain the same. Great book

Always a Good Listen !!

Kate Ellis books never let me down. The characters in the Wesley Peterson books are interesting and the stories are good.
