Wartime secrets, smugglers caves, skeletal remains...

And the holidays only just begun

July 1923 - Iris Woodmore travels to Devon with her friends Percy Baverstock and Millicent Nightingale for her fathers wedding to Katherine Keats.

But when Millicent uncovers skeletal remains hidden on the private beach of Katherines former home, Iris begins to suspect her future stepmother is not what she seems.

The police reveal the dead man is a smuggler who went missing in 1918, and when a new murder occurs, they realise a killer is in their midst. The link between both murders is Katherine. Could Iriss own father be in danger?
