It's 1924 and investigative reporter Poppy Denby is heading up to Northumberland to celebrate her father's 60th birthday. She stops off in Newcastle en route to visit her Aunt Dot, who has temporarily relocated from London to renovate a house she's inherited. One of Aunt Dot's guests is the world renowned artist Agnes Robson, who is staging an exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery. Reluctantly, Poppy is roped in to help when the artist's press liaison man falls ill. She soon discovers that the local press have dug up some dirt on Agnes relating to the tragic death of a young art teacher in Ashington Colliery, 27 years earlier. As she tries to suppress the story, Poppy begins to suspect that the teacher might have been murdered and that the killer may still be on the loose....

Fiona Viech Smith has fast become one of my favourite authors! And this is another great book of hers!
The setting, characters & backstory of this book are so interesting, and I love that we get to meet Poppy’s family too!
Fiona VS is a sophisticated and clever writer, and her stories are always interesting and well constructed. There is always a believable, unforced flow to her stories that is so gratifying.
I always feel fully satisfied at the end of her books that everything has been tied up and finished well.
Thank you for another great story!

Great story writing!
