Detective Chief Inspector Worde is not having a good Bank Holiday Sunday. Then, as she is waiting in the A&E department to have the wounds on her hand looked at, suddenly it gets a lot worse. A body has been found in the chapel of an old celtic monastic site now used as a conference centre situated on the edge of Exmoor. All very picturesque and charming but not very hot on mod cons. As if this were not enough of a challenge, the group of suspects comprise the variegated membership of a would-be writers’ group spending the Bank Holiday weekend at the centre. Can she solve the mystery before the end of the Bank Holiday and before the various characters drive her totally insane?
