Books like Person or Persons Unknown by Anthea Fraser


When Zara Crane turns to seasoned sleuth Rona Parish for help uncovering her forgotten origins, Parish’s latest field report on the sleepy town of Buckford quickly turns into a hunt for a thirty‑five‑year‑old murder mystery. Rona’s curiosity is stoked by the fact—Zara’s birth mother was found dead in her own bath two‑and‑a‑half decades earlier—yet the investigation draws suspicion toward surrounding families and a web of old secrets. As Parish navigates the old‑time gossip and the stubborn resistance of her own husband Max and close friends, she must balance the peril of reopening a past crime with the turmoil bubbling in her own life.
