Helpful Score: 5
This is an excellent read! Well written, great characterizations.
Helena inherits her great-aunt's estate. While reading her diaries, she finds out that her great-aunt Diana was once accused of murdering her first husband, George. She was acquitted, but the case was never solved. Helena is too upright a person (even though she has an illicit affair herself) to accept an inheritance which might be tainted by the spoils of a murder. So she decides, with the help of her cousin Marta, to solve a murder over sixty years old. They delve into the past and begin to understand the complex web of friendships, jealousies, courage, and cowardice that connected the group of people present when George was killed. Soon they discover that there were indeed others who had a motive for killing George.
