Death at the Priory

Lucy Rossington doesn't need any more trouble just now. She's got plenty of that already at the family manor in an idyllic West Country valley. Her recent marriage is under strain as she struggles to keep the ancestral home going for her young brother, Will. Her glamorous and charming friend Anna is an increasingly successful actress, so why isn't she happy? Lucy's grandmother, Isobel, seems to be hiding a secret, and is surprisingly unsympathetic about Lucy's personal dilemma. So the odd incidents plaguing the Priory excavations, under the controversial leadership of the mercurial Mike Shannon, are really the last straw for Lucy. Does the death of an archaeologist really mean more than a temporary disturbance? Is Lucy imagining evil where none exists? She is soon to know.
