<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>When the body of four-year-old John Vincent is discovered, hidden in a midden, the already unhappy</strong></p><p><strong>Cornwall family begins to unravel. With no obvious reason for his murder, a scapegoat must be found and</strong></p><p><strong>his elder half-sister Charlotte, the sleepwalker, neatly fits the bill.</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>After facing the horror of a trial by jury, Charlotte is found not guilty but suspicion still follows her as</strong></p><p><strong>she takes up almost unpaid work as a teacher in the untrustworthy Mrs. Armitage's school.</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>After her fellow teacher and friend, Miss Lamb, vanishes, followed by the tragic death of one of</strong></p><p><strong>Charlotte's much-loved pupils, the finger of blame is pointed again. Now even Charlotte begins to</strong></p><p><strong>believe that she is losing her mind and may well be a murderess.</strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Lofts is a compelling storyteller...
