When Reverend Clare Brakespear is invited to lead the Morva Hotel's annual 'Refresh and Renew' retreat, she's excited about the change of scene. A weeklong trip to Cornwall promises quiet reflection, sea air and a chance to unwind.

When new evidence comes to light, Clare must team up once again with the prickly DCI Jackie Carter to uncover the truth - before the retreat turns deadly.
