I just adored this historic mystery novel, set mostly in the Downton-esque world between 1914-1920. Young housemaid Grace is set on a tragic course when her life becomes increasingly entangled with her young mistress and the upper class family she serves.
A skifully drawn plot and intriguing characters you can empathise with pulls you effortlessly along, leaving enticing breadcumbs that draw you to the tragic conclusion. I especially love the way that the ultimate tragedy could be traced back to a simple, single and seemingly harmless white lie, so many years before.
