Bess Crawford has just returned to London for a rare Christmas leave
from the War when she discovers a bruised and freezing young woman
huddled in the doorway of her flat. It is quickly apparent that the
woman has nowhere to turn and Bess is soon able to learn that she fled
from her home in a small village after her husband struck her during a
terrible quarrel. With her usual generosity, Bess agrees to see the
woman safely back to her home. But once they arrive in Sussex, Bess is
immediately sensitive to the tense atmosphere among the family and
holiday house guests. Before Bess can even begin to understand what is
going on, one of the other house guests is found dead. The family is
haunted by a tragic past, could that be the motive? Or was it something
more recent? Bess’s compassionate nature once again draws her into a
tangled and thorny mystery, but this time Bess finds she is a suspect
herself. --Ann D.
