Publisher's Summary
Finalist for a 2019 Lefty Award
The fourth book in what the Globe and Mail has proclaimed “a terrific series” by “a writer to watch”.
Summer descends over the picturesque King’s Cove as Darling and Lane’s mutual affection blossoms. But their respite from solving crime is cut short when a British government official arrives in Nelson to compel Darling to return to England for questioning about the death of a rear gunner under his command in 1943.
In Darling’s absence, Ames oversees the investigation into the suspicious death of a local elderly woman and uncovers a painful betrayal inflicted 40 years earlier. Meanwhile, Lane follows Darling to London, where he is charged with murder and faces hanging. While desperately seeking answers, Lane is presented with a proposal that could save the man she loves, but only if she returns to the very life she sought to leave behind.
What the critics say
“Good plot and fun characters keep this series fresh.” (Globe and Mail)
“Brilliant! Absolutely in the spirit of Dorothy Sayers’ Harriet Vane/Peter Wimsey mysteries, but smart and fresh in its own right. For lovers of cozy mysteries and British police procedurals - there’s even a murder investigation in which evidence includes fragments of a broken tea set - this title will not disappoint.... The writing was wonderful, the plotting rock-solid, and I adored these characters. Can’t wait to delve into the backlist and discover what I’ve been missing.” (Kerry Clare, author of Mitzi Bytes)

Intriguing with just the right complexity
Loved the multiple interwoven stories and characters. Kept me reading on to discover what unusual event was unfolding in the next chapter.

A very satisfying read
This is the fourth Iona Whishaw Lane Winslow book I have read and I find she goes goes from strength to strength. “It Begins in Betrayal” is a finely woven blend of mystery, murder, family relations and long held hurts, and international espionage that ends in a hopeful and satisfying manner.
