Book description
It was the third visit to the house on Orchard Drive. Each time he parked in the same place, each time he carried a briefcase, and each time Louise North greeted him at the door. He never stayed very long. But each time he came the women of Matchdown Park noticed. Louise North had told them he was the man for the central heating – but her neighbours knew better than that. They knew what sins, what secrets and what lies could be hidden behind the closed and curtained windows of that stark and gloomy house….
Susan Townsend was the only resident of Orchard Drive with no interest in either the drama going on next door or the neighbourhood gossip about it. Yet it was Susan who found the bodies of the lovers, locked not in passion but in death. And Susan whose own life would be imperilled by a monstrous crime far beyond the imaginings of the vilest tongues.
