Judith Cutler is best known for her two series featuring Sophie Rivers and Kate
Power, but it may well be that in time Josephine Welford will come to be regarded as
her principal creation. Josie is the widow of a major criminal and this book opens with
her as the licensee of the White Hart at Abbot's Dunscombe and bemoaning her low
boredom threshold. Soon she has plenty to keep her occupied as she becomes
involved with a young Chinese man who seeks sanctuary from the church and finishes
up being hit on the head. Cutler contrives to blend a cosmopolitan outlook with a
quintessentially English setting – no mean feat.
