After her grandfather's death, Francesca - being the last of the Hattons, is approached by several people unknown to her with seemingly strange requests. Additionally, there is Richard, a soldier wounded in WWI, who claims that her grandfather murdered his mother. Francesca is forced to unravel her grandfather's secrets ... is she and were her cousins (who all died in WWI) indeed related to her grandfather? Why did he conceal two estates from them? And what was the connection between him and Richard's mother?
A very readable novel, not really *that* suspenseful, but great characters, and evoking the times and horrors of WWI in 1916 England. I like Todd's style, but I liked "A Cold Treachery" better than this one.
