## Snapshot

Professor Goodman's daughter and Algy Longworth's fiancée, whose grief over her father's death is shadowed by questions no one will answer.

## Who they are

Brenda arrives at the Drummonds' house on the evening of her father's death, sheltered by her mother and hovered over by a distraught Algy. She is kept in the dark about the murder, the diamond discovery, and the threatening letter, while the adults around her trade significant glances over her head. Her presence gives the early chapters their emotional weight: the human cost of a discovery worth killing for.
