Summary
In February 2012, the peaceful village of Forteviot in rural Perthshire was shattered by a brutal crime that defied comprehension.
80-year-old Jenny Methven was found dead in her cottage kitchen — the victim of a savage and deliberate attack that shocked even the most seasoned detectives.
As police searched for answers, suspicion crept closer to home. Beneath the surface of long-standing friendships and small-town familiarity lurked dark intentions, hidden debts, and a betrayal so personal it would leave a community reeling… and a family forever broken.
