AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It is October 1937 and Vere, Roger and John all catch the 10am Taronga Zoo ferry, interested to see why they have been invited to stay at The Hermitage on Sydney Harbour. On the pier they are met by a golden retriever named Daphne.

'When they arrive their hosts, Bernard Halliday and Celeste Williams, realise there has been a mistake with the party. Two are from 1937 but one guest is from twenty years earlier and will prove to be a challenging case.

'Despite the beauty of the Hermitage, Roger quickly discovers that no-one can leave and all three guests are having trouble with their memory. Vere, a lover of mysteries, decides they are trapped in a locked room mystery of their own, but can she solve it before it is too late?'
