Publisher Description
Meet Rona Parish, a talented biographer who has a skill for writing about the past and encountering danger along the way, and her adorable golden retriever, Gus.
When Rona Parish is asked to look into an ongoing investigation involving a car crash, she feels in over her head – she even might lose it if she isn’t careful!
Biographer and freelance journalist Rona Parish has a new idea for a series in local magazine Chiltern Life: Moments That Changed My Life, featuring people with exceptional stories to tell. Her father’s old friend, Frank Hathaway, witnessed the 1990 invasion in Kuwait. A great first story!
Frank Hathaway led an interesting life, but not all of it was pleasant . . .
After meeting Frank, Rona discovers that his life contains a series of dark streaks too, including his recent failed rescue attempt following a stranger’s car accident.
Rona Parish is determined to bring the culprits to justice, but at what cost?
Frank, suffering from flashbacks, remembers details about the crash that suggest it might not have been an accident after all, and his son Steven appeals to Rona to look into the fatal incident. Not knowing what to expect, Rona soon finds herself drawn into another gripping mystery . . .
A page-turning cosy mystery set in the fictional English market town of Marsborough in the stunning Chiltern Hills.
Fans of M.C. Beaton, Richard Osman, Reverend Richard Coles, G.M. Malliet, Margery Allingham, Betty Rowlands and Faith Martin will love this series.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Those who are content to meander through an English country town full of characters mostly irrelevant to the central plot will best appreciate Fraser's leisurely ninth Rona Parish mystery (after 2012's A Question of Identity). Rona has just completed her latest biography and is starting to write a series for a magazine about people who have lived in unusual places or through unusual events when she meets her father's old friend Frank Hathaway, who was in Kuwait at the time of the Iraqi invasion. While interviewing him, she learns that Frank has been having flashbacks involving a car crash and a failed rescue that he was involved in the previous year. As Frank recovers more of his memory of the accident and of being in Kuwait when war was declared Rona turns sleuth. Series fans will be glad to see her troubled house next door occupied by the owners at last, and to find most of Rona's family settling down.
