Frances is dying. A man who calls himself the vicar visits, hoping to extract a deathbed confession. He wants to know what happened in summer 1969 when Frances - tasked with surveying a country house - first set eyes on the glamorous bohemian couple, Cara and Peter. Were the signs there right from the beginning? Or was it impossible to avoid the crime that split their lives open like rotten fruit? An assured, old-school, du Maurieresque classic.
