A murder mystery event turns into a real murder investigation when famous Welsh actor and TV detective Anthony Hart is found stabbed to death at the dinner table. There’s a lot of pressure on Janie to solve this murder, which isn’t helped by the fact that John is close friends with Helena Hart, the sister of the deceased. John and Janie’s investigation reveals not only a feud between siblings warring over property and their family’s legacy, but also the pitfalls of fame and the kind of person Anthony really was. John finds himself rekindling his fledgling romance with old flame Helena, but ultimately, it’s through an unexpected connection with a suspect that he is reminded of the dangers of living in the past, which inadvertently helps Janie let go of her own baggage. For Janie, this case is also the final hurdle before landing her DI position.
