Description
During a winter retreat in Lancashire, Deborah and Simon St. James hope to repair their troubled marriage, but their plans are disrupted when a local vicar dies from what appears to be accidental poisoning. When troubling inconsistencies emerge, Inspector Thomas Lynley reopens the case, drawing the St. Jameses into a tightly guarded world of religious conviction, family secrets, and simmering resentment. As the investigation exposes hidden relationships and motives within the village, the boundaries between compassion, loyalty, and culpability become increasingly difficult to discern. Atmospheric and psychologically astute, the novel combines an intricate mystery with a nuanced exploration of faith, marriage, and the burdens of the past.
