When the pair embark on an evening walk in the woods and discover Mr Weaver's body in the woods, with a mysterious symbol painted above his body, something suspicious is clearly afoot. As the nights grow darker and the mysterious symbols continue to appear around Dewstow, the Dinner Lady Detectives are pulled deeper into the case.
