The Plot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Peaceful Repose Cemetery, Drew Slocombe is determined to revolutionise the entire death industry and make ecologically sound burials a popular choice. Unfortunately, his gravedigger has just discovered that their cemetery has one too many corpses – that of an elderly woman. The police don’t appear to be particularly concerned and seem to think it’s that of a vagrant. But for Drew things don’t add up: even if the woman died a natural death, someone was obviously responsible for burying her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Genevieve Slater, a woman from Drew’s past, turns up at his door, and asks him to help prove that the body is that of her missing mother, the mystery deepens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does Genevieve not go to the police with her concerns? All Drew’s skills as an amateur detective will be needed if he is to get to the truth . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
