Hanging with Hugo

Description

Writer's retreat Windy Corner becomes a sanctuary of a different kind when a man and his foster daughter are harassed by a social worker, with tragic consequences.

Emily and Luke have returned from their honeymoon and are caught in a whirlwind of activity. Emily's half-brother, Oscar, and his fiancée, Lauren, want to be married at St. Bede's Church in Stony Beach with a reception at Windy Corner. But they're not the only guests arriving at Emily's writers' retreat. Emily finds herself unexpectedly playing host to the family of the artist repairing the church's storm-damaged stained-glass window; to Lauren’s traditional Chinese parents; and to Moses Valory and his foster daughter, Charlotte, who are seeking sanctuary from being harassed by social worker Janine Vertue.

When Janine appears and is later discovered hanged in her hotel room, Emily uncovers disturbing links between Janine and all her guests at Windy Corner. Which of them despised Janine enough to kill her?
