After inheriting her friend Emma's cottage, Penny Brannigan begins the task of sorting Emma's personal effects and finds a packet of letters that reveals that Emma had a lesbian affair with an artist killed in a 1970 hit-and-run accident. Penny hesitantly sets out to find who killed the artist.
VERDICT Duncan writes so well about the lives of people in a small village in Wales that the reader becomes immersed in their daily trials and tribulations. The follow-up to the award-winning The Cold Light of Mourning is sure to appeal to fans of M.C. Beaton and Agatha Christie.
