Description
London, 1955. The bodies of three elderly recluses are found in a house in South Kensington. One of the victims is former society beauty Georgina Gresham, prime suspect in the notorious murder of her husband, James, almost thirty years earlier. Beside her lie the bodies of her brother Edmund and housekeeper Ada. For the story behind these deaths, Ada takes us back to the late 1890s, to a prosperous and beautiful country house where children are playing in the garden. And then the youngest child, Freddie, is found with fatal head injuries … Told through three narrators, this is a tight, claustrophobic piece of writing so authentic, so completely in period, that it’s hard to believe it is not a true story. - from Amzon
