This historical murder mystery, set in 19th century Canada, tells the story of Grace Marks, imprisoned for the double murder of her employer and his housekeeper (who was also his lover) in the household where she worked as a maid. Grace does not remember the events of the actual murder, and a group of churchgoers who believe she is innocent have engaged a psychiatrist to find out what really happened. The story must be pieced together from newspaper accounts, letters and the points of view of two unreliable narrators: Grace and her psychiatrist-confessor, who becomes obsessed with her. The reader is never left entirely satisfied as to what actually happened, but even so, the novel and Grace engage us through to the end.
