The Last Verdict at Thrushmere

“Two records are written when someone dies — and this one has lied for forty years.”
Probate valuer Nell Bardsley comes home to Thrushmere at last, sent to inventory Marchgate House on the square after Miss Enid Bewley dies there at eighty-eight, a lady of the town for forty years. But the house reads as two women's under one name — a lady's good things kept by a working woman's thrifty hands, two hands in forty years of accounts, two faces under one name, and a will that leaves everything to a family the dead woman never had. Reading the estate against the record, Nell uncovers a substitution kept for forty years, a grave in the good ground under the wrong name, and the one death the late Hester Calloway marked in her ledger and could never name — the ghost of a sixth. The last of the Thrushmere inquests, and the verdict the district has waited a lifetime for.
