Detective Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and his wife, Detective Inspector Gemma James, are invited to a relaxing weekend in the picturesque Cotswolds, known for its stunning landscapes and historic charm. They are guests at Beck House, the estate of Melody Talbot, Gemma's trusted sergeant, whose family is wealthy and influential. The highlight of their stay is a charity luncheon featuring chef Viv Holland, who has returned to Gloucestershire after a decade in London, aiming to showcase her culinary talents. However, a tragic car accident and a series of mysterious deaths threaten to derail Viv's burgeoning career. As details emerge, it becomes evident that the killer has ties to Viv's pub and possibly to Beck House itself. The investigation reveals connections to the past and exposes tangled relationships and resentments among the staff at both locations. Secrets held by Viv, her business partner Bea Abbot, and Viv's young daughter Grace complicate matters further. As revelations unfold, Duncan and Gemma, along with their colleagues, are drawn deeper into the case, making it one of their most critical investigations, especially for Melody Talbot, with personal and professional stakes at an all-time high.
