"The Ice House" - The people of Streech village had never trusted the woman living up at the Grange...For ten years before, Phoebe Maybury's husband David had vanished from there. But does the discovery of an unidentifiable corpse in the old ice house now mean that the police can finally close the case on his disappearance? "The Sculptress" - The facts of the case were simple: Olive Martin had pleaded guilty to killing and dismembering her sister and mother, earning herself the chilling nickname 'The Sculptress'. This much journalist Rosalind Leigh knew but how could Roz have foreseen that the encounter was destined to change her life - forever?
"The Scold's Bridle" - Mathilda Gillespie's body was found nearly two days after she had taken an overdose and slashed her wrists with a Stanley knife.
