The setting was idyllic. A crumbling, grand old house, a resident caretaker who inherited the house and three grand daughters.
One grand daughter turns up unexpectedly and does not get the usual, warm welcome. Her grandmother emphasises several times that the visit is temporary, also forbidding her access to some parts of the house and disappearing mysteriously on errands. Her behaviour is unusual and worrying and the girls try and finally discover the reason why she is upset.
The story winds on with a hunt on for clues and evidence that will help all of them to secure their inheritance.
A nice light read.

ReplyDeleteThere are so many days when a nice light read is exactly what I need.
ReplyDeleteI do like novels set in crumbling old houses. What a pretty cover.
