Who is Verity? That becomes a central question for American Nora Tierney, who has moved to her new Oxford home with her fiancé, DI Declan Barnes, and her young son. Declan's new case at Exeter College coincides with a frantic call from Nora's stepsister, Claire Scott: a fellow graduate student has died in a fall, and Claire begs Nora to help her prove her friend didn't commit suicide. The sisters conduct their own snooping, while Declan and his team juggle this death with a cold case that proves to be more surprising than Declan could ever imagine.

In the third Nora Tierney Mystery, American writer Nora awaits the arrival of a traveling theatre troupe who will perform Noel Coward's farce BLITHE SPIRIT at Ramsey Lodge in England's Lake District.

She's also hoping to further her relationship with the only lodge guest not in the cast: Detective Inspector Declan Barnes, ostensibly there for a hiking trip. When a series of pranks and accidents escalate to murder, Nora realizes her child is in jeopardy and determines to help Declan unmask a killer. Written in traditional British mystery style, this contemporary novel features chapter epigrams that are lines from the play. The series has been compared to Agatha Christie with a modern twist, and won Chanticleer Media's award for Best British Mystery.
