Person or Persons Unknown

Meet Rona Parish, a talented biographer who has a skill for writing about the past and encountering danger along the way, and her adorable golden retriever, Gus.


Rona's attempts to uncover the truth about a young woman's birth parents for a new series lead her to a killer whose identity has been a mystery for years.

Rona Parish has almost finished her series of articles on the town of Buckford but is lacking inspiration for her next project - until she is approached by Zara and Tony Crane at her friend Magda's party. Zara was adopted twenty-five years ago when she was six months old, and her recent attempts to find out more about her birth parents have led to a tragic discovery: her birth mother was murdered.

The truth won't stay hidden forever . . .

Zara wants Rona to uncover the identity of her father - and her mother's killer. As Rona investigates, she uncovers shocking connections to Zara's birth mother close to home, while a series of sinister events suggest that someone is determined to keep a devastating secret in the past. But is the past finally about to catch up to them?

A page-turning cosy mystery set in the fictional English market town of Marsborough in the stunning Chiltern Hills.

Fans of M.C. Beaton, Richard Osman, Reverend Richard Coles, G.M. Malliet, Margery Allingham, Betty Rowlands and Faith Martin will love this series.
