Molly McGrann's novel about the discovery of a dead man's double life and its dark secrets. Abridged by Robin Brooks. Read by Susan Jameson.

How did these three people come to live together, and how did they all die at once? The truth lies in a very different England, in the double life of Marie's father Arthur, and in the secret world of the ladies of the house...
