All the way through I was incredibly impressed by the fact that although I knew I was reading a contemporary novel, nevertheless the setting and the prose were so reminiscent of an Agatha Christie old house mystery that my mind would deceive me into thinking I was in the past. I loved this book which took me right back into the reasons I love crime fiction so much. ![]() She must keep going or risk losing everything, even her life… ![]() But once she embarks on her deception, there is no going back. Hal makes a choice that will change her life for ever. ![]() If anyone has the skills to turn up at a stranger’s funeral and claim a bequest they’re not entitled to, it’s her. But Hal knows that the cold-reading techniques she’s honed as a seaside fortune teller could help her con her way to getting the money. The letter has been sent to the wrong person. There’s just one problem – Hal’s real grandparents died more than twenty years ago. ![]() She owes money to a loan shark and the threats are getting increasingly aggressive: she needs to get her hands on some cash fast. When Harriet Westaway receives an unexpected letter telling her she’s inherited a substantial bequest from her Cornish grandmother, it seems like the answer to her prayers.
