Episode 7

Quentin distracts himself from his increasing woes by investigating Oliver Randall's murder.

Amanda Craig's state-of-the-nation novel, read by Amanda Lawrence.

Quentin and Lottie Bredin's marriage is over. They've also lost their jobs in the recession. As a result, they have been forced to rent out their London home (for an extortionate sum) and moved their family to Devon to live for a year in the hope that their house's value will rise enough to allow them to divorce and buy a flat each.

Lottie has fallen for life in Devon, especially now that she has found herself a good job working for a local architect. But Quentin is less content. To distract him from his woes, he digs deeper into the gruesome murder of the former tenant of their temporary home, and makes several shocking discoveries.
