Description
DI Herbert Reardon investigates the murder of an enigmatic woman who left her comfortable life behind and mysteriously disappeared in this page-turning 1930s historical mystery with gasp-worthy revelations.
1935, Templewood, Worcestershire. Judge Waring's glamorous wife Emilie is mysteriously missing and no one knows where she is - until she's found the morning after a party at neighbouring Falquonroy Park, in a clearing in Templewood's grounds, strangled yet neatly laid out next to two pieces of matching luggage. What could possibly have brought Emilie to the site where the family's new home, The Spinney, was about to be built, equipped for travelling? Was she planning to leave with someone she knew? Who was determined that she should meet such a terrible end? As Detective Chief Inspector Herbert 'Bert' Reardon and Sergeant Jago discover more about the enigmatic Emilie, they unravel terrible lies and devastating secrets stretching back years . . . This compelling historical mystery sharply conveys British society and politics of the interwar period of the 1930s. A great choice for fans of traditional mysteries with multi-layered and engaging characters from Jacqueline Winspear and Anna Lee Huber.More details
