Meet a new crime heroine who doesn’t want to be one. Amy Hammond always said that she wanted to have adventures after years of caring for her elderly parents but she was happily in her rut until retired Brigadier and not as retired as he claims he wants to be former spy Peter Cunningham moved in next door to her.
Now she’s married and working in her dream job as manager of a craft complex at a beautiful English stately home and, when she’s not terrified, she enjoys feeling that she can stop the bad things from happening and protect the people who get sacrificed to the so-called greater good.
Spring is finally coming to Swansmere in the second Covid year. The lockdown is easing as the vaccines are rolled out, but not everyone is happy and a young family take refuge at Swansmere after their home was firebombed by anti-lockdown fanatics. One of Peter’s protégées risked his career to get them clear, and the local anti-lockdown group is using an autistic boy who works as a garden apprentice to try to find out what’s happening so it’s a safe bet that secrets aren’t staying secret again.
Can Amy and Peter keep them safe and happy and find out and neutralise whoever’s behind it? And will Amy ever get a chance to enjoy her lovely new sewing room?
