Ludo has a nice life. A lovely wife and son, an attractive modern house, and a good job, idyllic really. But his wife is restless and spends too much time at work; Ludo finds himself getting too close to Arthur, the father of one of his son’s friends. Then his wife’s job takes a sinister turn, casting everything else into the shade.

Though there are ‘who-dunnit’ or ‘why-dunnit’ aspects, the story is narrated largely from Ludo’s point of view, with short sections of dialogue between the police involved to provide context.

The story is quite slow burn at first; the more sinister elements of the plot don’t become apparent until chapter eight.

For regular readers of my stories, Ludo’s home town is some 30 or 40 miles South-East of Parborough.
