Rosamund Vale

Some secrets wait fifty years for the one soul who can finally bear to balance them. High summer has come to Porthmellin, and Clementine Hart has never been more at home. Then old Nell Saltern presses a name into her hands that her late great-aunt kept for half a century: Grace. A girl who, the village has always believed, ran away one midsummer fifty years ago and was never seen again. When a frail old stranger comes home to the cove to die, and to set right the thing he helped bury half a lifetime ago, he is found dead before he can speak.
The fifth and final Porthmellin Cove Mystery, and the homecoming the whole series has been walking toward.
