Sorry for the Dead

A compelling murder mystery in which events shift between a world on the brink of a devastating world war and the deadly aftermath of that war. The latest instalment of the enthralling series starring Golden Age crime writer Josephine Tey. In the summer of 1915, the violent death of a young girl brings grief and notoriety to Charleston Farmhouse on the Sussex Downs. Years later, Josephine returns to the same house - now much changed - and remembers the two women with whom she once lodged as a young teacher during the Great War. As past and present collide, with murders decades apart, Josephine is forced to face the possibility that the scandal which threatened to destroy those women's lives hid a much darker secret.
