An "obsessively readable" mystery from the New York Times-bestselling author of Dark Corners about a century-old diary that holds clues to a murder (The Sunday Telegraph).

Asta Westerby is lonely. In 1905, shortly after coming to East London from Denmark with her husband and their two little boys, she feels like a stranger in a strange land. And it doesn't help that her husband is constantly away on business. Fortunately, she finds solace in her diary -- and she continues to do so until 1967.

Decades later, her granddaughter, Ann, finds the journal, and it becomes a literary sensation, offering an intimate view of Edwardian life. But it also appears to hold the key to an unsolved murder and the disappearance of a child.

A modern masterpiece by the Edgar Award-winning author of the Inspector Wexford Mysteries, and an excellent choice for readers of P. D. James, Ian Rankin, or Scott Turow, Asta's Book is at once a crime story, a historical novel, and a psychological portrait told through the diary itself and through Ann, who is bent on unlocking the journal's excised mystery.
