Meanwhile, a body is found buried in the grounds of the castle, and the community is thrown into disarray. Who amongst them would stoop to murder? And why? Can the people of Swansea trust each other? Everyone seems to have something to hide, and Lydia is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. But she has no idea how far the killer will go to keep their secret, and next time the victim could be even closer to home…
