When Meredith Mitchell drops a hitchhiker at Brussels-based lawyer Andrew Penhallow's home, she is left feeling uneasy, for the girl is highly secretive. The next morning Andrew is found murdered. Meredith and her boyfriend, Supeintendent Alan Markby, uncover shocking revelations as they investigate.

When Meredith Mitchell gives a lone hitchhiker a lift into Bamford one evening, she is left feeling uneasy, for the girl is highly secretive. What business can she have at Tudor Lodge, home of Brussels-based lawyer Andrew Penhallow, where she asks to be dropped? Unusually, Penhallow is at home that night...and the next morning he is found murdered in the garden. His death results in some spectacular revelations about a double life involving his mysterious visitor, Kate Drago, but she is not the only suspect unearthed by Meredith's boyfriend, Superintendent Alan Markby, as he investigates the ghosts of Penhallow's past as well as the secrets of the present; aided and abetted by Meredith but rather hindered by colleague Sergeant Prescott, who has inconveniently fallen in love with the chief suspect...

      March 1, 1999
      In her 11th mystery (after A Word After Dying) featuring British sleuthing duo Meredith Mitchell and her policeman lover, Alan Markby, Granger once again delivers a polished whodunit. A striking young woman hitchhikes her way to Bamford from London, and Mitchell gives her a lift to her destination: Tudor Lodge, the home of lawyer and European Union "mandarin" Andrew Penhallow. While his wife, Carla, is upstairs with a migraine, Penhallow confronts his unwelcome visitor, Kate Drago, alone. After stowing the young hitchhiker in a nearby seedy hotel, Penhallow returns home. Later that night, a knock at the back door brings Penhallow outside, where he is viciously attacked and murdered. Markby, who went to school with Penhallow, is called to the scene, and the investigation begins. Was Penhallow the victim of a terrorist attack? Or did Drago murder him? What is the young woman's connection with the victim and his family? Granger offers only a small cast of possible suspects, but manages to sustain the suspense of Mitchell's and Markby's investigation until the novel's tidy and believable conclusion.

      The day after a mysterious and beautiful hitchhiker asks to be dropped off at Andrew Penhallow's front gate, he turns up dead. It's up to Superintendent Alan Markby to discover the identity of the visitor and unravel the crime. Bill Wallis does his usual outstanding job. Much of the dialogue is highly emotional, and the reading conveys this intensity believably. While the major characters are from the same social class and background, Wallis manages to make each voice distinct. And when given the opportunity to portray someone completely different, such as an old crone or a troubled adolescent, Wallis's reading shines. R.E.K. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
