An unexpected inheritance plunges beloved British mystery author
Josephine Tey into a disturbing puzzle of dark secrets connecting
the present and the past in this intriguing historical mystery
brimming with psychological tension.
When Josephine Tey unexpectedly inherits Red Barn Cottage from a
godmother she barely knows, the will stipulates that she must
personally claim the house in the Suffolk countryside. But
Josephine is not the only benefactor--a woman named Lucy Kyte is
also in Hester's will. Sorting through the artifacts of her
godmother's life, Josephine is intrigued by an infamous murder
committed on the cottage's grounds a century before. This old
crime--dubbed the Red Barn murder--still haunts the tight-knit
village and its remote inhabitants. Is it superstition, or is there
a very real threat that is frightening the locals? And is the truth
related to the mysterious Lucy Kyte, whom no one in the village
admits to knowing? Surrounded by the shadows of obsession, abuse,
and deceit, with a palpable sense of evil thickening around her,
Josephine must untangle historic tragedy from present danger to
prevent a deadly cycle from beginning once again.
