The Manor House was the perfect place to live. Until the body was found…

Celia Verney and her husband spent many happy years in The Manor House before he died unexpectedly five years ago. Her friends Sasha and Olly are only too happy to fill in as lodgers.

Tom and Nicole just bought the state-of-the-art Glass Barn nearby, following a life-changing lottery win. They have everything they’ve ever dreamed of, but two years on they still feel like outsiders.

Housekeeper Kitty is the second generation in her family to work in The Manor - the place is in her blood and she knows every nook and cranny of the estate.

When Tom is found dead in the grounds, it shatters the small community.

Everyone is keeping up appearances. But each home hides its own secrets.

Who among them is capable of murderer?
