Description

April 1915: A gentle Suffolk spring unfolds in a world riven by conflict

When Miss Smy is framed for the murder of a London music hall performer in the sleepy Suffolk town of Framlingham, she finds herself not only fighting to clear her name, but in doing so, revisiting painful episodes from her past. As murder begets murder, Smy determinedly tracks down the real perpetrators, whilst slowly becoming aware that others, at the very highest level, are carefully monitoring her movements.

'The Serpent's Egg' is the fourth book in Michael Heath's series of Winifred Smy mysteries, a complex tale that finds Miss Smy needing to travel outside her home county for answers to two brutal killings. Once again, she calls upon the wisdom and assistance of characters introduced in earlier books as she doggedly pursues the many strands that lead her to utterly unexpected discoveries.
