Review:
"This is writing of real distinction...a subtle and nuanced book that deserves to be read as much for its sense of period and probing of motives as for its cleverly managed plot"
Synopsis:
Set in the pre-war years of 1936-1941, this thriller follows Sarah Causley as she takes up the appointment of nursery governess at the Hallam household. Soon after her arrival, a murder takes place and it is only during the London blitz that she discovers the truth about it.

Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. First edition, so stated. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, £ 9.95 iprice intact, in protective mylar cover. SIGNED COPY. Signed, without inscription, by the author on the title page. A beautiful copy! "A young man is found shot to death on the lawn of the country home of the Hallams, a charming family of intellectuals. They are liberals and pacifists in a conservative neighborhood. We watch events through the eyes of Sarah, an intelligent, engaging young woman who's the new nursery/governess to the youngest Hallam child. She is a bit of a Jane Eyre figure, but very much her own person. She describes the murder to her young charge as "a spot of bother," knowing it is much more. The novel is set in pre-World War II England. Time and place are vividly described. Villagers favor the bicycle for transport, although horses are still on use. Cars are a bit exotic and objects of envy. A Greta Garbo movie is at the local theater, and the projector breaks down in every showing! Ultimately the story moves to the war years with Sarah serving as an ambulance attendant in the Blitz. This is when we find out the truth of the murder." -- Patto on Amazon. Signed by Author. Book.
