MEET THE DETECTIVE
Evan Evans is a fit, ambitious young detective who was in training in Swansea when his family was struck by tragedy. Feeling that nothing makes sense anymore, Evan escapes to his early childhood home in Snowdonia where he becomes a community policeman. But despite the idyllic setting he can’t help getting involved in major crimes. He is broad shouldered, keen on rugby and a pint — and the sort of decent chap you’d be happy to have as a son-in-law.

THE SETTING
Llanfair is a charming village high in the beautiful Welsh mountains of Snowdonia. It is peopled by a cast of quirky characters, including the butcher Evans-the-Meat, the dairyman Evans-the-Milk, the postman Evans-the-Post, two warring Methodist ministers, their more aggressively warring wives, a flirtatious barmaid at the Red Dragon pub and a beautiful, enigmatic schoolteacher. The people of Llanfair enjoy a simpler way of life, and uphold local traditions proudly.

Twenty-four-year-old Daisy Moore is at a crossroads. Racked with guilt over her mother’s tragic death in a house fire, she needs a job and somewhere to live.

She’s offered a lifeline, working at the Dolphin Hotel in the quiet Oxfordshire village of Fernfield.

It’s a huge change after her exciting secret wartime work in London. Though the villagers aren’t keen on outsiders — or young women who speak their mind.

Lucinda Laidlaw was a pacifist who lived with an Austrian Jewish refugee. And someone bashed in her skull with one of the hotel’s trademark stone dolphin ornaments.

Wounded war veteran Inspector Thaxted makes Felix Koller his number-one suspect. Felix is the beneficiary of Lucinda’s will. But Daisy’s not so sure he’s the killer.

And someone will do anything to stop Daisy finding out the truth.
