Winter has arrived in the town of Windermere, and has bought with it the death of Frances Henderson, the best friend of Persimmon 'Simmy' Brown's mother. Having known the Henderson family all of her life, Simmy must cope with the loss of an important figure from her childhood, as well as the confusion at being bequeathed something in Frances's will.
When Frances's husband is violently murdered in his home, Simmy must face the fact that the family she was once so close to as a child, holds some dark and sinister secrets.
"Rebecca's modern-day Miss Marple continues to attract murders and victims in a way that can only happen in crime fiction - Simmy Brown and the Lake District mysteries, together with the Cotswold and West Country mysteries are cosy, bedtime reading for me - faultless plots, stunning characters and plenty to get your teeth into. The Bowness Bequest will have you scratching your head, but with Simmy Brown you're in good company!"--Books Monthly
