Freya Lockwood went from Lara Croft in her twenties to Laura Ashley in her forties. Now divorced with a teenage daughter she still shuns her partner/mentor Arthur Crockleford, whose actions in Cairo - Freya is convinced - ruined her life.
Now Arthur is dead and Freya’s flamboyant Aunt Carole suspects foul play. Arthur was on the verge of acquiring ‘an item of immense value’ and his clues, set up weeks before his death, seem designed to awaken Freya’s inner artifact hunter.
Carole, with a reluctant Freya in tow descends on the Manor House weekend where Arthur had planned to get back a treasure, where a killer awaits.
Fans of Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series should check this out. Freya is a great character and Aunt Carole is a complete hoot.
