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....

I have enjoyed the Poppy Denby books but this one fell a little short for me. The plot was very slow and the ending quite predictable. Still enjoyable but not as interesting or dynamic as the previous books.

Enjoyable but more predictable than the previous books.
