From the acclaimed author of the Savernake Novels Medieval Murder Mysteries, comes the fifth book about Mabel, a crime busting shapeshifter. With three turns to Withershynnes she can change her appearance into any animal she wishes.
Mabel Wetherspring, housekeeper at Bedwyn manor, has become an expert in investigating local murders. This fact is known only to her beau and fellow investigator, Sir Gabriel Warrener. Or is it?
Henry Buttermere, the manor steward, thinks he knows, but has no evidence and so the relationship between Mabel and Henry is strained to bursting when he decides to spy on her.
Meanwhile a newcomer to the village, the blacksmith from Rutishall, who has an amorous interest in Mabel, is found murdered and stuffed into the well in her back garden.
At the same time, all the members of a beloved Bedwyn family are found dead over their breakfast table. Who could possibly wish them ill?
To complicate matters, Gabriel's affianced, the unpleasant and persistent Lady Avice de Gers arrives in the village. Gabriel has decided he can never marry her and seeks to shake her off.
How will Gabriel and Mabel survive this latest tangle of events?
Will they be able to uncover the murderer of the innocent Clattercote family and unmask the killer of the philandering blacksmith, Ralph of Rutishall, before they are consumed by the evil passion of the killer?
