Christabel Strange, a highly successful young novelist, is taken
ill and dies a year before the story begins. It was her wish that
her biography should be written by her friend Marcia Wentworth; but
inexplicably, she bequeathed her diaries to her wily, eccentric
grandmother, who loathes Marcia and refuses to allow her to see
them. Dr. George Cardew, Christabel's childhood friend, arriving at
the house (which according to Christabel's will, is being shared by
Marcia), finds himself between opposing and bitterly hostile camps,
for the family are at loggerheads with Marcia. He begins to wonder
why Christabel behaved in such a peculiar way, and whether her
death was really due to a fever. The possibility of foul play
becomes a certainty when another murder takes place and a volume of
the diary is stolen. Gradually Dr. Cardew pieces together the clues
to Christabel's hidden life, but it is not until there has been
further violence that he is able to identify the murderer and the
reason for the original crime.
