This English mystery is set in the 1800's. Inspector Ben Ross is called to the jail cell of a man who is to be hanged the following morning. This condemned murderer tells of another murder that he witnessed 16 years previously. Is it too late for justice to be served? Inspector Ross and his amateur detective wife, Lizzie, start to investigate. This sets off a chain of events that results in another murder. This novel is an enjoyable read; the characters are likeable, the historical portions seem accurate, and the plot believable. It is a good book to curl up with on the sofa with a hot cup of tea.
