Once upon a time, the townspeople of F -. did something bad . . .
Local schoolteacher Catherine Evans has made writing the definitive
account of what happened when Ilsbeth Clark drowned in the well her
life's work. Some don't want the past raked up, but Catherine is
determined to shine a light upon that shameful event. Because
Ilsbeth was an innocent, shunned and ostracized by rumour-mongers
and ill-wishers, and someone has to speak up for her. And who
better than Catherine, who has herself felt the sting and hurt of
such whisperings? And then a childhood friend returns to F -. Elena
is a successful author who's earned a certain celebrity. Now in
search of a new subject, she announces her intention to write a
book about the long-dead woman. And Elena has everything Catherine
has not. A platform. And connections. And no one seems to care that
this book will be pure speculation, tainting Ilsbeth's memory.
Catherine is left with no option but to blunt her rival's pen ...
Before summer is over, one woman will be dead and the other accused
of murder. But is she guilty, or are there other forces at work?
And who was Ilsbeth Clark, really? An innocent? A witch? Or
something else entirely?
