Retiring from her television acting career and settling down with her teenage children in their English mansion home, Caroline Fawley, who is having an affair with a married man, begins to worry for her security when her lover goes missing under suspicious circumstances. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Well-known actress Caroline Fawley has given up her successful stage and television career for love and life at Alderley, an elegant country home "bought" for her by her married "friend," international business titan Marius Fleetwood. Despite the inquisitive villagers, Caroline is happy and the world is good...until a mysterious young man backpacking through the countryside arrives at the door. He says his name is Peter Bagshaw, but Caroline can't help noticing his physical resemblance to Marius. Is he Marius' son?

What else has Marius hidden from Caroline?

Who is Marius anyway
Is everything about him a lie?

Then a murder occurs....

As always in a Barnard mystery, the fun is in the details, the characters, the twists. With big houses, wealth, opera, and obsessive devotion among the ingredients, Barnard has cooked up another witty, richly nuanced novel worthy of the crime-writing star that he is.
