Yeah.

I can see it.

It says, Tim Hart Sal, kiss, kiss, kiss.

And there's a date.

Soon after Maxine moved in, she began hearing rumours about the previous owners around town.

The rumours were that the woman had stolen a lot of money from her employer and had somehow got away with it.

I introduced myself to local people and they said, oh, you know, well, Tim and Sally used to have that property.

And then someone said, oh, do you know she's written a book?

But even after she'd finished reading The Salt Path, Maxine found this mysterious couple intruding on her peace.

I was receiving letters from the time that I took the property on.

So you moved in here years after the Walkers had left.

But you were still getting letters for them?

So now Maxine's worried.

She gets the sense that something is seriously up with this property.

Apart from anything else, there are parking fines and speeding tickets, which seem to indicate that Tim Walker is still using her address on his driving licence.

And I thought, oh, flipping heck, I've got something serious going on with the property that's going to, you know...

Just ruin it all.

So Maxine, the former police officer, starts digging around online.

The farm they were staying at was called Hay.

It's nestled among cornish green fields with a couple of rivers running alongside it.
