One village. Ten suspects. One deadly performance.

The Bunbury Players are preparing to perform Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, but just before the curtain rises, their leading man is found dead in his dressing room.

As shock ripples through the Cotswold village, Detective Constable Windermere sees her chance to prove herself and secure the promotion she’s been working towards.

The problem is, everyone involved in the production seems to have something to hide.

As the investigation unfolds, secrets begin to surface and tensions rise. But will DC Windermere uncover the truth in time, or will the killer strike again before the final act?
