April 1912. Who is the
woman in the beautiful blue coat, keeping an eye on Constantia Gifford’s father
and four other men meeting in a west Sussex churchyard at midnight? Is she the
same woman found dead in the river close to the Giffords’ isolated home days
later? Connie is determined to find out as her father has vanished and the
incident has stirred some long buried memories of a past wiped out by an
accident when Connie was twelve years old, a face, a voice and, a crow?
In the vein of Rebecca
and Turn of the Screw, Mosse has created a classic gothic Poe-like tale.
As a side note this book is based around the Chichester area close to where I grew up so that was an additional hook. Prior knowledge of Chichester and its environs isn't necessary though.
