Description
A whodunnit from old Bronte Country.
Everybody loves Pip Metcalfe. She's gentle, she's kind and the whole village feels sorry for her, because her mother, Orla, left their isolated cottage, abandoning the family.
Outsiders are not welcome in the close-knit Yorkshire village of Ackley, and in 1892, four years after leaving the family home, Orla is found dead. With a village full of people who hated her, the search is on to find her killer.
Inspector Jarvis Blackburn knows that tracking down the murderer is the key to promotion. This would realise his lifelong ambition to become chief inspector, emulating his late father.
Pip and Jarvis find themselves steadily changed by the experience, and wonder whether finding Orla's killer will lead them to future peace and happiness. Sometimes the path we choose in earnest no longer serves us, but the alternative may be a shot in the dark.
But love has a way of choosing the path we take for us, and Pip and Jarvis become but pawns in the game of life.
Orla Metcalfe Has Run Away is part of the Women of Old Yorkshire collection by Yorkshire-born author Jo Priestley; historical, romantic novels featuring authentic women, engaged in emotional journeys of self-discovery about love in all its many forms.
