Rosemount Cottage was exactly as her grandmother left it…
Hat on the coat stand.
Slippers by the chair.
Poisoned tea leaves in the strainer…
Tamsyn Pride knows someone – or something ''' killed her grandmother. But every attempt she makes to catch the killer is met with whispers behind her back and suspicious looks. In the sleepy town of Much Wenlock, everyone has a secret. Everyone has something to hide.
Meanwhile, in the churning depths of the River Severn, a lost soul has been summoned – and they will stop at nothing to exact their deadly revenge.
Yet there is only one person the villagers are terrified of. They just have to pray she doesn’t remember she was once a witch with the power to destroy them all.
