It is 1905. Asta and her husband, Rasmus, have come to East London from Denmark with their two little boys. With Rasmus constantly away on business, Asta keeps loneliness and isolation at bay by writing a diary. These diaries, published over 70 years later, reveal themselves to be more than a mere journal. For they seem to hold the key to an unsolved murder and to the mystery of a missing child. It falls to Asta's granddaughter, Ann, to unearth the buried secrets of nearly a century before.

You can't leave it alone. The character's identity quest is so contagious, to other characters, first, but mostly to the reader. The mystery is kept intact throughout the book. Great suspense, until the very end. I first read the printed version years ago. Listening to it was a great pleasure.

Fantastic story, fantastic twist.
