One down. When a supposed overdose victim is found to have received a postcard marked You're first, DI Hope Fenton uncovers links to a circle of privileged Cambridge alumni: an eco-entrepreneur, a surgeon, a lecturer, and a government minister. But are they potential victims - or suspects? Four to go. As the investigation unravels and the body count rises, Hope is trying and failing to cope with the shadow cast by the abduction and disappearance of her son Noah eight years ago. The unanswered questions of what happened to him also haunt her ex-husband, forensic scientist Dr Adam Fenton. But could it be that this case holds the key to Noah's disappearance as well? They should have made sure he was dead. Five Silver Spoons is a gripping tale of shameless entitlement and merciless revenge.
