Dead Drop: A British detective mystery of deadly neighbours and dark secrets

by Eva MacLean

Behind every perfect neighbourhood lies a perfect crime.

When Adam and Rebecca move to Windworth Road, they find manicured lawns, expensive homes, and neighbours who seem to have it all. But beneath the smiles and pristine facades, secrets fester.

Within two weeks, two residents are dead. Detective Inspector Miranda Murphy must navigate a tangle of lies, grudges, and half-truths to uncover the killer. But in a place where everyone has something to hide, trust is a luxury, and the truth could get you killed.

Dead Drop is Book Four in the Detective Miranda Murphy series, a gripping crime thriller where the most dangerous secrets hide in plain sight.
