1909 |
|
Laura grew up living with her aunt and uncle believing her parents had died in a railway crash. After college, Laura takes a job--recommended by the family's solicitor--of cataloging books in the library of one of the solicitor's clients. She travels to Huddlesfield, where she finds her employer, Ainsley Beaumont, is the owner of a woolen mill. She lives at the Beaumont house and works on the library. When someone murders Ainsley, Laura learns that he has left her ₤1500. The Huddlesfield inspectors discover who wanted Ainsley out of the way, and Laura discovers she is Ainsley's grandaughter--born to his son and a servant girl. Excellent book, but lowered the rating because the who that dunnit was a likable character. |
