The Kemps were a Cornish Catholic family who had held on to Kellycoryk, their family home, for almost five hundred years. But it was beginning to look as though the present century would be their last. Roger, head of the shrinking clan, was desperate to save the house and land. His second marriage, to the shrewd and tough businesswoman, Bridget, offered a way out. Bridget, prosperous head of her own company, wanted to take Kellycoryk over for development and although Roger hated the idea, Bridget refused to save the estate in any other way.

Then - suddenly - Bridget disappeared and old memories began to be raked over. Hadn't Julia, Roger's first wife (also a wealthy woman) disappeared mysteriously, presumably in a boating accident? Did Roger, his sister and his disturbed children know more about the past than had ever been revealed? Wycliffe, supposed to be recuperating from an illness in the neighbourhood, found there was too much that was intriguing about the Kemps for him to ignore

RELEASE NOTES:

Relay release to em64 Finland. Airmail 18th July 2006

The book was waiting for me in the mailbox yesterday. I'm on vacation right now and have been reading a lot of books. This one looks like perfect holiday reading. Thanks, sterile!

An enjoyable whodunnit, suitable reading on a hot sunny day. I quite liked the TV series and at times it was almost like I was hearing Jack Shepherd say the lines :-)

I took the book home from the BC meeting. Thanks!

This was my first Wycliffe book, but not knowing about the character or previous events in the series didn't matter. (I haven't watched the tv series either.) The story was interesting enough to keep me reading till the end.

Esitehyllyn päällä.

Osallistun tällä vapautuksella Appelsiinin 52 viikkoa -vapautushaasteeseen.
