Ploughed through this book in a couple of days, it was hard to put down. Lavender and woods were called to a village in Northants this time where lots of the villagers had secrets to be discovered. This is a series that really draws you in. The authors power over the reader makes you believe that you are actually accompanying both detectives on their rounds and you really worry about their safety. A very worthwhile read
