I've always loved this story for the tension and terrible revelations at the end. It's just so well crafted!

Moderate: Racial slurs and Racism

Love it though I do, the story is always dinged, for me, by the anti-Traveller/anti-Roma bias during the mystery -

but the villain of the piece is not them.
