Synopsis (Fantastic Fiction)
After her mother is found dead on a quiet road, possibly the victim of a hit-and-run, events and revelations lead Henrietta to wonder if her mother's death was accidental or murder.
My Take
A short novel, almost a novella, but a police procedural from a much underestimated Golden Age author.
Henrietta Jenkins lives with a widowed mother in a small village. She is approaching her 21st birthday and is at university. Her mother is killed crossing a road and the police determine it is murder. Henrietta get a rude shock when she finds out the woman she has called her mother is not, and that there is some doubt about who she actually is.
A quick and interesting read.
My rating: 4.5
