A delightfully tranquil village seems a lovely place to live, but beware of seething resentments and violent passions waiting to erupt with dire consequences A typical English country lane: ten households forming a peaceful, if mundane community; it seemed the perfect environment for newlyweds lan and Migs Peters in which to raise their newborn son. A small dispute over the resurfacing and widening of their lane surely cannot cause too much discomfort in such an idyllic setting?

From Booklist
Ian and Megan have moved to the lush countryside with their young son to escape the noise, pollution, and high crime of London. Their "rose-covered cottage" is on Miller's Lane, a dead-end road that is prone to flooding and full of potholes but blissfully quiet. Megan and Ian figure they've found their own little piece of heaven--until wealthy Keith Aymes proposes widening and improving the road. Then one of the neighbors, Caroline Coleman, is found dead, the apparent victim of eating poisonous mushrooms. The little community is shocked by her death, but when two more deaths follow in rapid succession, it's clear there's a killer on the loose--but are the murders connected to the proposed road improvements? The story and the motive are both shocking and tragic, but in the end, the circumstances draw the residents of Miller's Lane into an even more tightly knit community. A traditional British cozy with modern characters, an inventive plot, and plenty of reader appeal. Emily Melton
