When a man with no ID and no connection to Marlow is found dead in the middle of a suburban road, Judith, Becks and Suzie delve into the secrets and tensions lingering between the residents.
Morning sunshine beats down on Linnet Close, where lawns are pristine, fences are freshly painted… and most of the street has been marked-up for demolition and development. And in the middle of the street, a body. Dead, bleeding from a stab wound.
The mystery grows when it's discovered the victim had no connection to the close, the remaining residents or even Marlow. The elusive answers draw the attention of Judith, Becks and Suzie, who begin running their own investigation, stepping around the red tape that restrains the official line of inquiry. The women soon realise that once you begin to peel back the layers of perfection and dig beneath the petty day-to-day squabbles of neighbours, there's a dark web of festering secrets and tension lingering between the inhabitants.
From rumours of stalling property developments in the area, to claims of malicious tricks and underhand behaviour, for Judith and Suzie it's a shocking reminder that while you may think you know someone, how much do you really understand about their life? A question which becomes all the more pressing when they realise Becks has begun acting oddly, uncharacteristically avoiding their questions and sneaking off without explanation.
