When four women are found dead under eerily similar circumstances near a remote reservoir, Carter’s team is called to piece together the threads of an ominous pattern.

The victims, each discovered with an unmistakable MO, point to a calculated killer—one whose ties span from Hastings to Blackpool, where he maintains a holiday home.

All clues lead back to Clive and Jean, a seemingly ordinary couple marked by tragedy after their daughter’s suicide from an overdose. Yet beneath their quiet facade lie questions and connections that make Clive the prime suspect in a case that grows more sinister with every discovery.

As Carter and his team unravel the mysteries surrounding Clive and Jean, ‘Her Bench’ unveils the darkness hidden behind closed doors and the devastating impact of loss and obsession.

What begins as a search for justice soon becomes a struggle against time and a probe into the shadows of the human heart.

For readers who have followed Molly Chapman’s journey, this story offers a fresh lens into the lives of Carter’s team as they grapple with the unrelenting forces of justice, grief, and the haunting possibility that evil sometimes wears a familiar face.
