When Penny Brannigan inherits a charming, old-fashioned
cottage in the North Wales town of Llanelen, she soon
realizes she has come into more than what real estate agents
like to describe as a desirable period property: She’s also
acquired memories, mystery, and an unsolved, decades-old
crime.
As Penny sorts through the belongings of her benefactor, a
deceased teacher, she comes upon a packet of letters from a
promising young Liverpool artist, A. Jones, who was killed
in an accident in 1970. An artist herself, Penny sets out to
discover who killed this painter, and is helped by a small
group of townsfolk, including her business partner, Victoria
Hopkirk. While at a retrospective art exhibition in
Liverpool, Penny recognizes what she believes to be a
watercolor painted by Jones. But it is attributed to another
artist, leading her to suspect that art theft was at the
heart of the case, and that Jones’s death was no accident.
In her eagerly awaited sequel Duncan wonderfully revisits
the bustling Welsh town and vibrant characters introduced in
The Cold Light of Mourning. With its lyrical prose and
tantalizing puzzle, this new mystery is a treat on many levels.
