The Wrong One

When Clara Coleman is arrested for murdering wealthy socialite Rachel Stapleton, her fifteen-year-old son Seb makes a desperate call to Simon Miller—a detective and his late father’s best friend. Despite their strained relationship, Simon agrees to help, moving into their run-down cottage in Lavender Valley to secure Clara’s bail.

Clara insists she’s innocent, but the evidence seems damning. Rachel had been suing her for fraud, and Clara’s own knife was found at the crime scene. As Simon investigates, he uncovers Rachel’s vindictive past and her troubled relationship with her unstable daughter, Isabella.

But the cottage itself holds dark secrets—a history of tragic deaths that has left locals whispering about curses. Strange incidents plague the family, and Seb begins to suspect they’re being watched.

As Simon digs deeper into Rachel’s murder, the truth becomes increasingly elusive. In a case where nothing is as it seems, discovering who really killed Rachel Stapleton may come at a deadly price.
