About this ebook
Things are looking up for Adam Matthews and Robin Bright—their relationship is blossoming, and they’ve both been promoted. But Robin’s a policeman, and that means murder is never far from the scene.
When a body turns up in a shallow grave at a Roman villa dig site—a body that repeatedly defies identification—Robin finds himself caught up in a world of petty rivalries and deadly threats. The case seems to want to drag Adam in, as well, and their home life takes a turn for the worse when an ex-colleague gets thrown out of his house and ends up outstaying his welcome at theirs.
While Robin has to prove his case against a manipulative and fiendishly clever killer, Adam is trying to find out which police officer is leaking information to the media. And both of them have to work out how to get their home to themselves again, which might need a higher intelligence than either a chief inspector or a deputy headteacher.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really liked that the author has the talent to take the reader to the world of this small, semi-rural English town. She describes it so that all during the story you feel like a visitor. Cochrane’s cozy murder plot is not about some urban detective and his "almost-boyfriend", seems to be how many gay cop books run. This series features two quiet and intelligent young professional men, who are each trying to make their way without creating problems in their professional or private lives. Then there is the star of the show...Campbell, their big, beautiful, Labrador Retriever. A body has been found in a dig and Robin is brought in to investigate. The majority of the book takes place during the questioning of witnesses and suspects and a lot of brain storming sessions while Robin tries to make sense of all the clues. There are also a lot of red herrings, mistaken identities, and impersonations. It all comes together nicely in the end and Robin and Adam...and Campbell, are off to their next case.
