Publisher's Summary

Cumbria, 1967. Grieving the loss of her son, Cordelia Hemlock is in a village graveyard when lightning strikes a tumbledown tomb - and gives her a glimpse of a new corpse that doesn't belong among the crumbling bones. But when the body vanishes, the authorities refuse to believe some hysterical outsider.

Cordelia persuades Felicity Goose, the only other person to have seen the corpse, to join her investigation. But the villagers don't take kindly to their interference. There are those who believe the village's secrets should remain buried...whatever the cost.

enjoyable

That was good. I'm finally back at work, and back to binging audiobooks. This turned out to be a good choice. Not the fastest paced, but steady, with interesting, believable characters (including some creepy kids...) and a great mystery. I wasn't expecting a spy thriller. It was, technically, but it felt like a more traditional whodunit. Also, I appreciated the depiction of a healthy female friendship, which I rarely see, and a healthy marriage, which I see even less. It was refreshing. I was left with questions (creepy kids...), but overall, the ending was satisfying.
I liked it.
