Summary

Anna Deerin moves to a remote Cotswold cottage to become a gardener, trying to strip away everything she’s spent all her life as a woman striving for, craving the anonymity and privacy her new off-grid life provides. But when she clears the last vegetable bed and digs up not twigs but bones, the outside world is readmitted. With it comes Detective Inspector Hitesh Mistry, who has his own reasons for a new start in the village of Upper Magna.

Drawn in spite of herself to this unknown woman from another time, Anna is determined to uncover her identity and gain recognition for her, if not justice. As threats to Anna and her new life grow closer, she and DI MIstry will find that this murder is inextricably bound up with issues of gender, family, community, race and British identity itself – all as relevant in decades past as they are to Anna today.

A literary take on the country house murder

I adored this - a literary take on the country house murder. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, a thoughtful and empathetic engagement with the world in which it is set, and a critique of the tropes of class and race which we often find in early detective fiction. I read a lot for work and struggle to feel the impetus to read for pleasure, but the audiobook made it easy to enjoy the mystery of Fallow Hall and its characters on the go.
