Oh this was a really good one! I was quickly engrossed in the story - or I should say stories. It begins with a very short incident in 1970. A young woman (no name) has come to a remote farm in Yorkshire. She has found out something and knows she needs to get away immediately. We don't know what happens to her. Now it is 2008 in the same part of the world. A young college student is savagely killed. The police are not having any luck finding the responsible party. A few months later there is a similar type murder - only this time it is an elderly woman. Is there a connection? The dead woman was one of the children evacuated to Yorkshire out of London during the war - could that have something to do with her death? Or maybe she was killed because she ruined Gwen's engagement party the night she was killed. So many possibilities! The story of what took place during the war is interspersed with the mystery of her murder. This was a great psychological mystery. Interesting characters and I was kept guessing until the end.
Ms. Link has been very successful - in Germany. This is her first
book translated into English - and another one is headed our way in
May. (I have already put in a request for purchase!)
