Varnished

In the quiet English suburbs of Oak Valley, something is afoot… When a local couple’s irreplaceable dining table mysteriously vanishes, the village becomes the centre of a gripping criminal investigation. Detective Inspector Armoire is on the case (and grateful for something to do), but can he find the culprit? In a series of local interviews and dramatic reconstructions, Laura Eccles, Oak Valley’s local community librarian, reveals the truth behind the missing furniture in this exclusive exposé.
