When Beatrice receives a phone call and finds out that her younger sister, a penniless, free-spirited art student, vanished, she immediately leaves her life in New York behind and returns to England so that to find her. The two of them were really close, however, there were things that Beatrice never knew about Tess. For instance, she did not know about Tess’s pregnancy and the fact that she lost the child. Everybody believes that Tess is already dead – except for Beatrice who still wants to find her. When at last Tess’s corpse is found, her sister refuses to accept that she committed suicide. According to Beatrice, Tess could not be suicidal. She still investigates and she does find, along with disturbing details of her deceased sister’s life, some odd evidence about the death of Tess. By then her own safety is in danger as well… the ending comes to the reader as a shock.
We see the story from Beatrice’s perspective: she is writing letters to her dead sister.
