Arden’s back with a new mystery, new paramours, and this time he’s even hotter.

Summer has come early to idyllic Lilbury, and Arden Forrest isn’t the only one awoken from hibernation after the long winter.

The village is abuzz with news of a forthcoming by-election, which has several surprising faces running for a chance at Parliament.

However, rivalries abound, and tempers flare as the race – and the weather – heats up. It’s not long before tragedy occurs, and Arden stumbles over his least favourite thing: a dead body.

Who murdered the aspiring politician? What connection did they have to Lilbury, and why is Simon, the village’s handsome handyman, personally involved?

It looks like to find the murderer and stop his one-time flame from taking the fall for it, Arden is going to have to solve the mystery, risk his life, find the dangerous killer and face his all-time worst fear: excessive sweating in public.
