Streech Grange is home to 3 women: Phoebe, Diana and Anne, who are suspected by the villagers to be lesbians, and/or witches, or at least immoral. Phoebe's abusive husband disappeared 10 years ago, and the townsfolk have always suspected that she murdered him. Now a decomposing body is discovered in the ice house located in the woods surrounding the grange.
Inspector Walsh investigated the disappearance of the husband 10 years ago, and is now working this case together with Detective Sergeant McLoughlin. It could be Phoebe's husband, who might have just left and has now returned (why?), or it might have been a tramp, who was last seen around the time the victim was killed, or ...
I did not like this book very much, mainly because the characters were all unlikable, and acted rather implausibly. The story is good though. Minette Walters' later books are much better.
