The skeleton in the grass

MysteryThriller

1987

The year is 1936, and the clouds of war are gathering over Europe. But life in a small English village is peaceful and charming, especially to Sarah Causeley, the new governess at Hallam House. Then someone wages a hate campaign against the Hallams and a killer leaves more than croquet mallets on the lawn.
