Reasonable Condition - Ex-library. Library labels on back cover and date stamp on page edge, retailer stickers, creasing and rubbing to covers, spine creasing, toned page edges.

Bridgestead seems an unremarkable Yorkshire village, with its mill, countryside and familiar routines, until mill owner Joshua Braithwaite disappears under dramatic circumstances. Years later, his daughter's approaching wedding prompts one last effort to find him. Did he leave with another woman, or did something much darker happen? Kate Shackleton, who has always enjoyed solving puzzles, takes on the mystery and begins asking questions among the villagers. The deeper she looks, the more uncomfortable her enquiries become for people who would prefer certain matters to remain buried. Frances Brody introduces her amateur investigator in a historical mystery of family loyalties, scandal and secrets beneath a quiet rural surface.
