Set in the picturesque town of Askham, near Ullswater, the story opens with the funeral of Humphrey Craig, the builder who converted Simmy's new house in Hartsop.

The following day, when Simmy goes back to look at the grave and the flowers on it, she meets two women: Lindsay Wilson, an academic in her late twenties who is writing a thesis on Charles Dickens' Dombey and Son, and Pauline Parsons, a local matriarch aged 90. Just 24 hours later, Mrs Parsons is found dead on Askham Fell, and Simmy is summoned to Penrith police station.

She is told that she has been identified as the prime suspect... will DI Moxon be able to help Simmy out of this unscathed?

The Askham Accusation by Rebecca Tope is a gripping tale of suspense and intrigue set against a backdrop of rural charm and mystery.
