'Always a delight.'Sunday TimesI will never understand why murder is considered such a lowbrow speciality in Hollywood.September,1939,and the worries of war follow Josephine Tey to Hollywood,where a different sort of battle is raging on the set of Hitchcock's Rebecca. Then a shocking act of violence reawakens the shadows of the past,with consequences on both sides of the Atlantic,and Josephine and DCI Archie Penrose find themselves on a trail leading back to the house that inspired a young Daphne du Maurier - a trail that echoes Rebecca's timeless themes of obsession,jealousy and murder.Readers love Nicola Upson'Oh my,what a delight to read this was. An author absolutely in command of her craft.' reader review'I felt like I knew the Hitchcocks personally. The talent to make that feel likely is really Upson's draw for me.
