Review
"This is writing of real distinction...a subtle and nuanced book that deserves to be read as much for its sense of period and probing of motives as for its cleverly managed plot"
Synopsis
Set in the pre-war years of 1936-1941, this thriller follows Sarah Causley as she takes up the appointment of nursery governess at the Hallam household. Soon after her arrival, a murder takes place and it is only during the London blitz that she discovers the truth about it.
