With her personal life in disarray, Julia Lanchester feels
she has no option but to quit her job on her father’s hit
BBC Two nature show, A Bird in the Hand. Accepting a
tourist management position in Smeaton-under-Lyme, a
quaint village in the English countryside, Julia throws
herself into her new life, delighting sightseers (and a
local member of the gentry) with tales of ancient Romans
and pillaging Vikings.
But the past is front and center when her father, Rupert,
tracks her down in a moment of desperation. Julia refuses
to hear him out; his quick remarriage after her mother’s
death was one of the reasons Julia flew the coop. But
later she gets a distressed call from her new stepmum:
Rupert has gone missing. Julia decides to investigate—she
owes him that much, at least—and her father’s new
assistant, the infuriatingly dapper Michael Sedgwick,
offers to help. Little does the unlikely pair realize that
awaiting them is a tightly woven nest of lies and murder.
