THE HEART IS A LOCKED ROOM

Abigail's brother Benjamin is dead, and her world has literally been split in two. In one reality Abigail finds herself back at work, navigating the frustrations of well-wishers and busybodies, desperately wondering why her brother has gone. In the other an eminent detective arrives determined to find Benjamin's killer among his circle of close friends.

Is this a murder mystery or something more? What secrets do Benjamin's friends hold? And can Abigail, immersed in her grief, find out the truth of her beloved brother's life?
