'A classic double-detective story by crime master Barbara Vine. For a good, absorbing, well-told story, you could hardly better the unveiling of Asta's secret'.'
The Sunday Times
A series of diaries, published over 70 years later, reveal themselves to be more than a mere journal ... an enthralling double-detective thriller by crime master Barbara Vine.
It is 1905. Asta and her husband, Rasmus, have come to East London from Denmark with their two little boys. With Rasmus constantly away on business, Asta keeps loneliness and isolation at bay by writing a diary.
These diaries, published over 70 years later, reveal themselves to be more than a mere journal. For they seem to hold the key to an unsolved murder, to the quest for a missing child and to the enigma surrounding Asta's daughter, Swanny.
It falls to Asta's granddaughter, Ann, to unearth the buried secrets of nearly a century before.
'A dazzling domestic thriller.'
The Guardian
'Engrossing ... a mixture of biography, true crime and romance people with vivid minor players and red with herrings.'
The Independent on Sunday
