Merryn's characters are real and she always sets the scene in this case Britain in the early 1950s. The social constraints of the 1950s are keenly observed and add much to this well-written story.  This is an intriguing historical mystery, and the protagonist is so complex and interesting, and the mystery so well done that you'll find yourself trapped between the pages. A well-paced book with so many twists and turns that kept me guessing most of the way through. A brilliant gripping story which captures the reader from the very first page. Another beautifully written book by this author – the characters were great and the story so well thought out.
