1767. John Rawlings and daughter Rose are in Devon staying with Elizabeth the Marchesa. They travel to Helstone in Cornwall to watch the dance festival when a child disappears. But then a murder occurs. What is behind these events. Who else will die.
Once again another enjoyable mystery in this well-written historical mystery series with its very likeable characters
