Synopsis

Editor-turned-amateur sleuth Susan Ryeland has returned to England, leaving behind her tranquil life in Greece.
Seeking a fresh start, she takes on freelance work with a London publisher.
Her latest assignment: editing a continuation of the beloved Atticus Pnd detective series, titled Pnd’s Last Case.
The author, Eliot Crace, is the troubled grandson of the late Miriam Crace, a renowned children’s author who died two decades ago.
Eliot is convinced that his grandmother was murdered by poison and claims to have embedded clues to her killer’s identity within his manuscript.

As Susan delves into the manuscript, set in the South of France, she becomes engrossed in the fictional mystery of Lady Margaret Chalfont’s death—an ailing matriarch poisoned just days before altering her will.
The parallels between the manuscript and Miriam Crace’s real-life demise are unsettling.
As Susan uncovers these connections, Eliot’s behavior grows increasingly erratic, culminating in another murder that places Susan herself under suspicion.

Caught between the fictional world of Atticus Pnd and a real-life investigation, Susan must unravel the truth before she becomes the next victim
