A small British village has long suspected that the three women living in a local manor house are witches--or even worse. So when an unidentifiable body is found in the home's ice house, everyone is set to believe their guilt, especially police inspector Walsh.

With one unexpected plot twist after another, Minette Walters delivers a mystery which surprises right through to the very end.
