Description

As the Second World War draws to a close, Nicholas Vaughan seeks refuge in Devon, renting a thatched cottage in the countryside. He settles into a life of hard work and rural peace, farming the land, raising geese, and renovating his home.

However, his seclusion is disrupted by the presence of June St Cyres, an exile from London who lives on a nearby farm with her husband, a Japanese POW. The arrival of fashionable visitors threatens to spoil Vaughan's prized solitude. When a blaze destroys Little Thatch, Vaughan's life is turned upside down, and Inspector Macdonald is called in to uncover the motive behind the murder.

This gripping mystery follows the intricate web of relationships and motives that lead to the tragic event. With its rural setting and complex characters, this book offers a compelling read for fans of the genre.
