Description
When Kate Shackleton disembarks at Saltaire station, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, she has no idea what to expect. A stranger, Ronnie Creswell, has written to say that he has urgent information about the past that will interest her, and he persuades her to make the journey to Milner Field, the grand house that is said to be cursed. But moments after Kate arrives at the lodge, a messenger brings devastating news to Ronnie's parents: he has been found drowned in the mill reservoir. Ronnie's father suspects that this was no accident, and the post-mortem proves him right: Ronnie was murdered. Terrified and distraught, Mrs. Creswell refuses to stay at the Lodge a moment longer. But events take an even more shocking turn when ten-year-old Nancy Creswell, eyes and ears for her blind Uncle Nick, goes missing. An account of the fateful Saturday of Ronnie's death arouses Kate's suspicions, and further investigations could prove her right. But truth is never so straightforward at Milner Field. Uncle Nick spins an old story that could hold the key to finding Nancy alive—though the fabled curse may not have claimed its last victim yet, and only a set of old bones buried on the grounds will finally reveal the horrifying truth.

January 2, 2023
In Brody’s deft 13th mystery featuring private inquiry agent Kate Shackleton (after 2020’s Murder Is in the Air), Ronnie Creswell—a maintenance worker at Yorkshire’s Salts Mill—urges Kate in a July 1930 letter to travel to the village of Saltaire so he can tell her a story about the past. But Ronnie dies in the mill’s reservoir before her arrival, and Kate discovers that the mill’s board chair Arnold Whitaker fears that it may not have been an accident, as Ronnie, who wished to marry Whitaker’s daughter, appears to have been looking into skullduggery threatening Whitaker’s livelihood. With the help of her associate, Jim Sykes, and housekeeper, Mrs. Sugden, Kate learns about potential industrial espionage, the disappearance of valuable silver and of a servant from the reputedly cursed Whitaker mansion, as well as the presence of some mysterious strangers at the mill. The melding of past and present, multifaceted characters, and a winning investigative team combine into a gripping and moving case. Longtime fans and new readers alike will find much to enjoy. Agent: Rebecca Winfield, David Luxton Assoc.
