In this Laetitia Rodd is an impoverished widow of an Archdeacon and her brother, a lawyer, uses her to enquire into puzzles for him, in this one he wants her to investigate another widow that the son of a client wants investigated. When murder happens in the small village the son of the client is blamed and Laetitia investigates, but all is not as it seems and there are undercurrents that make the investigation muddy.
I read this before going to Spain and remember parts, but I do remember liking it and wanting more. Laetitia is interesting and determined to make her own way in a world that would prefer that she hide away and be unseen. I had a few issues with the pacing but overall it was a good read.
