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.

Loved the story....
I've been an Audible member for several years and have never written a review before. However, I felt I had to leave a review for this book
I absolutely loved the twists and turns of the story, but I hated the narration - sorry, but it didn't make for a good listen!

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.

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

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.

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.

Great stories
I enjoyed the Wild Fens books greatly so wondered if these would be as good but I needn’t have worried. Great story with twists and turns and can’t wait for the next one.

1971
The historical detail of 1971 is not correct. It is more of the late 1950s and early 1960s. But, i still enjoyed the audio book.

Fabulous
What a brilliant book, full of twists and turns, highs and lows, building up hopes before dashing them. This author writes a fantastic plot. Can’t wait to read more.
