Introduction to Reflections

There are many types and sources of reflections. We have windowpanes, glass panels, any highly polished surface, mirrors, the smooth surface of water and of course the most powerful of all, our reflective thoughts.

The Setting

In the spring of 1926, on a large and profitable estate, called Tumby Hall in the English West Midlands, Lady Matilda Gregson has died from a lingering illness at the age of 71.

The Incident and Its Aftermath

At the same time a murder is witnessed and over the ensuing weeks the killer is pushed and dragged to a resolution. Several people who are touched by this death, employ different forms of reflections to help them make sense of their situation and perhaps to help them find justice.

Characters and Themes

Characters travel through the story with their daily lives, but unavoidable points of contact with others affected by this death lead to paranoia, deceit, threats being made and eventually to another death … or murder. Will justice be done?
