About This Book
A small Essex community is unsettled by a suspicious death and the arrival of a meticulous doctor who notices a man in grey. The narrative follows twins Clarice and Ferdinand, their romantic tensions, and a circle of locals as anonymous letters, business secrets, a dog, and a formal inquest generate suspicion and misdirection. Gradual discoveries, medical testimony, and chance revelations piece together motives and evidence, leading to the unmasking of guilt and a final reckoning.
