Jo Jones – autistic, hyperlexic, and kind of exhausted – is having a rough time. When her semi-estranged mother dies and leaves her a decrepit estate in Yorkshire, Jo leaps at the opportunity to leave the US and start fresh across the pond. But why is the estate’s handyman so shifty? What happened to the mansion’s portraits? And who is framing Jo for murder? Not quite a cozy, this mystery introduces a compelling new heroine and some welcome neurodivergent representation.
