Full Description
Beautifully presented, fascinating true
mystery, yet to be solved. Margaret Clement, a rich heiress living on a
large property in Victoria, suddenly disappeared. Were her eccentric
ways to blame?
Rich, beautiful and well educated, Margaret Clement
was the belle of Melbourne society. With a legacy from her wealthy
father, she and her sisters set up a mansion called Tullaree in the
pastures near the Tarwin River. With staff to run the property, they
impressed the cream of Edwardian society with Japanese screens,
tapestries and furniture from their trips abroad. Hit hard by the Great
Depression and World War I, their finances declined and the ditches that
kept the Tarwin River back collapsed through neglect. The lush paddocks
sank under a vast swamp as the elderly belles clung to their beloved
Tullaree. As the swamp rose, so too did the presence of opportunists,
scammers, lawyers - and a killer.
