Lady Wainwright presides over the Gothic gloom at Belting, in mourning for her two sons lost in the Second World War. Long afterwards a stranger arrives at Belting, claiming to be the missing David Wainwright, who was not killed after all but held captive for years in a Russian prison camp. With Lady Wainwright's health fading, her inheritance is at stake, and the family is torn apart by doubts over its mysterious long-lost son. Belting is shadowed by suspicion and intrigue, and then the first body is found.

This atmospheric novel of family secrets, first published in 1964, is by a winner of the CWA Diamond Dagger.

Excellent work which was well performed. One of the best old mysteries from the British Library series so far.

way too many coincidental meetings and a Rube Goldberg contraption of a plot but well-written with mostly interesting characters and very well read/performed by David Thorpe

Engagingly Implausible Mystery
