Honoria Potterton-Phipps is a dog lover. She is also the heiress to a vast fortune, but when her father threatened to cut her off unless she went to university, she took Criminology and never looked back. Now she finds herself embroiled in the close community of Newton Lauder, which is far from the idyllic rural village it seems and the only thing more worrying than the condition of her new Labrador, is the body hunched in a rowing boat, riddled with bullet wounds . . .
