This mesmerising historical mystery includes an interactive clue so listeners can unravel the mystery alongside the characters.
Critic reviews
"A heartfelt, hopeful tale of the human spirit's incredible ability to recover." (Emma Carroll)
"This wonderful second novel firmly establishes Lesley as one of our finest writers of historical fiction. We should talk about her in the same way we talk about Hilary McKay, Emma Carroll & Tom Palmer.... I hope it reaches the wide audience that it truly deserves." (Phil Earle)

Lovely story
Loved this story and it’s themes. It feels like there’s a lot of heart in it. The narration bought it to life really well. A great second book from Lesley.
