Cassandra James is content with her new life, living in an isolated cottage in the Fens, and her new job at a women's college in Cambridge. Until that is, she finds Margaret, her head of Department floating in her swimming pool, and then everything is changed.

Asked to take over Margaret's position as Acting Head of Department, Cassandra has access to Margaret's papers and stumbles across secrets she would rather not have known, but which lead her to question Margaret's accident.

Did Margaret and Malcolm have the wonderful marriage that they portrayed to the world? And what was Margaret's relationship to a dead student? Soon Cassandra is suspecting of all those around her. When Cassandra decides to do a little investigating, she unwittingly puts herself at risk.

This was a fascinating mystery, the sense of place was very strong, and the episode of Conan Doyle acting through a medium was just brilliant. This is Christine's debut book, and I just hope that the next one is not too long coming. -----------
