She's solved her first murder with the help of her new team, averted a potential riot, and is starting to learn who she can trust inside Cumbria Police - and who she can't.

Her boss is trying to play the death down, and she's being encouraged to ignore leads by colleagues whose motives seem increasingly suspicious. Zoe's sure they're wrong. But as an outsider who knows little about the town's history or grudges that stretch back decades, can she get to the bottom of the crime and prevent the killer striking again?

And when another body is found at a second location linked to the play, they worry there could be more killings. Can the team solve the puzzle and work out where the killer will strike next, or will it be too late? Death and Poetry is the second gripping instalment in the McBride and Tanner series.
