Summer in Cornwall - but whilst the rocky coastline and presence of the sea may feel summery that‘s where the lightness ends! This book is layered with mysteries, dark, tangled relationships, abuse, violence and the legacy of war. It‘s using the format of the Golden Age but with a good dose of realism! Tey‘s Scotland Yard friend - Archie really lead this narrative and it feels a little early in a series to allow the main character to step back.
