About the book: Spring is a magical time in England, bluebells massing along the woodland paths, primrose and wild thyme dotting the meadows. Antiques dealer Kate Hamilton is spending the month of May in the Suffolk village of Long Barston, tending her friend Ivor Tweedys antiquities shop and enjoying time with Detective Inspector Tom Mallory. But while attending the May Fair, the annual pageant based on a famous Anglo-Saxon folktale, a body turns up in the middle of the festivities. Kate is even more shocked when she learns the murder took place in Ivor Tweedys stockroom, and a valuable Chinese pottery jar she had taken on consignment has been stolen. Ivor may be ruined: insurance wont cover a fraction of the loss. As Tom leads the investigation, Kate begins to see puzzling parallels between the murder and local legends. The more Kate learns, the more convinced she is the solution to both crimes lies in the misty depths of Anglo-Saxon history and a generations-old pattern of betrayal. Its up to Kate to unravel this Celtic knot of lies and deception to save Ivors business, and solve a murder. With its multi-layered plot, swoon-worthy Springtime-in-England setting, and captivating cast of characters, The Art of Betrayal is authentically irresistible.
