A smart and enchanting postwar mystery that will appeal to fans of the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear.
It is 1946, and war-weary young ex-intelligence officer Lane Winslow leaves London to look for a fresh start. When she finds herself happily settled into a sleepy hamlet in the interior of British Columbia surrounded by a suitably eclectic cast of small-town characters she feels like she may finally be able to put her past to rest.
But then a body is discovered, the victim of murder, and although she works alongside the town's inspectors Darling and Ames to discover who might have possibly have motivation to kill, she unknowingly casts doubt on herself. As the investigation reveals facts that she has desperately tried to keep a secret, it threatens to pull her into a vortex of even greater losses than the ones she has already endured.
A clever postwar mystery that will appeal to fans the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear or the Bess Crawford series by Charles Todd.

Way to long, and made longer by making people do improbable things. A former spy and courier that don’t lock her doors, don’t thoroughly check her immediate surroundings, don’t map the Kay of her land and haven’t got any protection in her house. 🤣 … No. just; No… I’ve listened and read thousands of hours of former operatives from all wars tell about their lives and habits and not one has ever behaved this ignorantly. I hope for improvement… I hope others told the author this, so she did some research before book 2…
