Dr. Margaret Richter has it all. She’s rich, thanks to her best-selling self-help books. She has a beautiful home in Cape Cod overlooking the beach. And she has a monthly book club that everyone is dying to get invited to. Literally. Because behind the crystal wine glasses, the fine linens and the catered hors d'oeuvres lies a tangled web of secrets, of deceit, of murder. No member of the book club is innocent—and many are guilty. And the person with the most to hide is Margaret Richter herself.

The twelve cases in this volume span half a century and four countries, and they turn on a single unsettling truth: the evidence was usually there long before anyone was willing to read it.

November 1147. Gareth and Gwen have again been called to a castle belonging to Robert, Earl of Gloucester, this time by Prince Henry, who insists his uncle was murdered. Allying with Normans doesn’t come easily to Gareth and Gwen, but initial doubts are swept aside as more losses come to light. Because Robert's death has upended the balance of power in England, friends and foes alike have a vested interest in keeping the truth from coming out, and it is up to Gareth and Gwen to stop the killer before he claims another victim—and maybe a country.

May 1144. Newly wedded, Gareth and Gwen travel across the border into England on a diplomatic mission with Prince Hywel of Wales. Within moments of their arrival, however, the mission goes awry and a murder case drops (literally) at their feet. Hindered at every turn by a climate of civil war and constantly shifting political alliances, Gareth and Gwen race to solve the murder and expose a plot that threatens not only their lives, but the life of the future King of England himself.

Most of the killers in this book looked completely normal. That's what the people who knew them always said afterward. These weren't strangers who emerged from the shadows—they were con men and caregivers, fathers and lovers, people with reputations carefully maintained right up until the moment everything came apart.

Trust is the deadliest weapon. The killers in this book weren't strangers. They were husbands and wives, neighbors with friendly dogs, family members who sat across the dinner table. They spent years building the relationships they would eventually destroy. From suburban homes to isolated citrus groves, these twelve cases reveal what happens when ordinary people decide that the lives around them are simply obstacles to be removed.
