Publisher's Summary
"A stunner, exquisitely plotted and characterized, with Todd’s trademark meticulous backdrop of World War I-era England.” (Strand Magazine)
The Great War is still raging when Francesca Hatton’s adored grandfather dies on his estate in England’s isolated Exe Valley. She is his sole heir, for her five cousins are dead now on the battlefields of France. Among his effects, Francesca is stunned to find a letter cursing the Hattons. And at the funeral, a stranger publicly accuses Hatton of murder. Who was her grandfather? The kind man who raised her - or a secretive killer? For in the back garden where she and her cousins once played, there is a white stone they always called the Murder Stone.
Alone, with no one to help her, Francesca is determined to clear Hatton’s good name. But when a series of ominous “accidents” occur, she realizes that in her pursuit of the truth, she has crossed the path of someone who won’t be satisfied until all the Hattons are dead.

let down by the reader
The reader had occassional flashes of excellence, but her portrayal of some of the men, particularly the main male character, was odd. It isn't easy for a reader to portray someone of the opposite gender, I know. Also, her reading of the main character was often unpleasant. Too sharp and whiney, I suppose. Interesting ending, though.

Kept me guessing
Excellent listen. The voice actor was very versatile and the story was exceptional and without anachronisms.
