About This Book
The narrative opens in a small London court and follows an extended cast whose domestic routines and romantic attachments are disrupted by an accident that leads to convalescence and an inquiry into a suspicious drowning. Parallel threads develop misunderstandings, concealed identities and family secrets, including the crossing paths of separated siblings, through visits between town lodgings, a country estate and rural cottages. Episodes combine gentle social comedy with moments of suspense and moral reckoning; revelations unfold gradually across two parts and the closing chapters bring investigations and relationships to a series of reconciliations and resumed lives.
