Summary
Terrible secrets never die, terrible people do
A ninety-eight-year-old landowner being found dead in his home comes as no surprise to DCI Charles Cook. But the way that Hugo Garfield died is beyond suspicious - hanging from a chandelier in his sprawling Lincolnshire country estate.
As DCI Cook and his team delve into the victim's darkand twisted past, it soon becomes clear that not only did Hugo Garfield have more than a few enemies, but the motive for his murder could lie buried deep in the past.
For Cook and his team, this is no ordinary investigation, but for those who knew Hugo Garfield, his death marks the promise of a truth that nobody can bear to hear.
Who would want to murder a dying man so brutally? How has the story remained untold for so long? And can DCI Cook and his team unravel some of the darkest secrets in local history?
From the bestselling author of the Wild Fens Murder Mysteries, A Secret To Die For is the second installment inthe DCI Cook Murder Mystery series and is perfect for fans of rural crime authors such as JM Dalgliesh, LJ Ross, Simon McCleave, Ann Cleeves, and Val McDermid.
A breathtaking murder mystery that you will never forget, inspired by a classic Dickens tale that we all know and love.

Wow!
What an amazing book! The first thing you will notice is that it is long -14hours, but dont let that put you off. The story spans more than 50 years and does it soooo well. When a story pops to and fro from the present to the past numerous times it can become disjointed but not when Jack Cartwright is the author. This story is well written and I love the fact that we can see how events in the past impact on the present day. Can't wait to listen to the next in the series.

Enjoyable and gripping
A Charles Dickens storyline with modern twists. Easy to listen to. I haven’t watched tv for a week I’ve just listened to this book

Another excellent story from Jack Cartwright.
The Transition between time periods are so smooth it’s easy to follow the storyline. I absolutely love listening to Graham Mack.

Superb story - superb narrator
Another excellent book from Jack Cartwright - with a narrator who is second to none - i would say probably Jacks best book yet - loved every second of it - as always was so sad when it came to end - am now going to listen to Jacks ‘Fens Series’ from the start (for the 3rd time round) - seriously can not wait for the next instalment in this series - bravo Jack and Graham 🥰🥰

Highly recommend this one
Although in the same series this book took a different form from book one going back in time and then to the current day. I often struggle with these and find I get lost, but not with this book. The excellent writing and narration made it very obvious whether it was present day or historical. As in book one I thought I knew who had done it, I definitely knew who I wanted to be guilty but with a final few twists and turns I was totally wrong. Brilliant writing and I am now moving on to discover everything else written by this brilliant author.

Twists and turns
I’m usually good at knowing “whodunnit” in the first 30 minutes but this had me guessing for a good while longer. A great story spanning the 50 year history of a (seemingly) simple family. The narration and dramatisation made the story a joy to follow.

Best one yet
I’ve loved all Jack’s books but this one has just stood out. The story is incredible and the travelling through time is so smooth that you simply can’t get confused about where you are. The narration is great and when listening you just drift away into the book and forget everything else that’s going on.
