A compelling tale of childhood trauma and sinister discoveries
Alice and her brother Orlando lived a quiet life growing up in post WWII Britain; that is until the arrival of the precocious, manipulative and sexually aware Nicola.

Twenty years go by until Alice becomes determined to dig up the past and solve the mystery of Nicola's death. But will the truth be too much to handle when she starts to suspect her own quiet and bookish brother Orlando?

"This dark, atmospheric novel combines a gripping murder mystery and a psychologically complex coming-of-age tale."--Booklist
"Moody skillfully brings her characters to life, especially the emotionally wounded Alice, who slowly progresses toward healing. Martha Grimes fans should be pleased"--Publishers Weekly
