Richmond, London. Six attractive houses are tucked away in an exclusive and very upmarket gated community: Riverview Close. Surrounded by flowers and shrubbery, they're sealed off from the busy main road and the realities of urban life. At weekends, with the gate locked, the residents enjoy the sound of birdsong, the whirr of mowers, the occasional snatch of opera through an open window. Everyone knows each other. Everyone gets on. That is, until the Kenworthys arrive. With their four gas-guzzling cars, their noisy children and their plans to build a swimming pool in their garden, they quickly offend every one of their neighbours. When Giles Kenworthy is found dead in his hallway, the bolt of a crossbow through his throat, Daniel Hawthorne is called in. But how do you solve a murder when everyone has the same motive?
