Utterly unlike anything Walsh has done before -- and not a success. Possibly there is a market for it among mystery fans, though even in this field the story bogs down in the slow paced unravelling of a murder. The setting is a village in the Highlands (and Walsh handles the feel of place well). The period is that following the Dunkirk evacuation. And the characters include a General of the old aristocracy, his lovely Spanish wife, the Scottish villagers whose half-Spanish nephew, recuperating from Dunkirk, falls in love with the General's wife, and other inhabitants of the Valley.
