Henry didn't turn back when Francesca needed him twenty years before. Now, on
some sort of journey to anchor his soul, he arrives in her home town of Warbling
and discovers that she's even further beyond his reach - serving a life sentence
for the murder of her child. Still intrigued by her, and entranced by his
memories, he becomes drawn into the town and the people who knew her far better
than he - her cousin, her lawyer, her closest friend, Angela, whose adopted
daughter Francesca had helped her acquire. He finds himself a lodger in the
House of Enchantment, an eccentric boarding house run by two gays who believe
the comfort of their guests is above profit. And he finds himself incapable of
believing that Francesca is a killer, even if she did confess her crime in
chillingly logical detail. But if it wasn't her, then who? Peopled with richly
quirky and original characters, this is a novel of suspense in which the truth
is better left unknown
