The back part of the house is rented by a middle-aged couple called the Perrys. It turns out that the house is divided in a peculiar way. Eventually she finds it in a small village called Sutton Chancellor. In Book 2 Tommy is away for a few days, so Tuppence starts looking for the mystery house on her own. The painting was supposedly given to Aunt Ada by Mrs Lancaster. The picture strongly reminds Tuppence of a house she once saw and immediately liked. One of the items Aunt Ada had left is a painting of a house by a river. Tuppence suspects there’s more to it and tries to find the relative but the trail turns cold. The matron tells them that a relative called Mrs Johnson took her away. When they return to the home after the funeral to make arrangements for Ada’s possessions, they find that Mrs Lancaster has suddenly departed. While Tommy talks with his aunt, Tuppence has a conversation with another resident, Mrs Lancaster, who unexpectedly says 'Was it your poor child? There behind the fireplace.'Ī few weeks later Aunt Ada dies of natural causes. In Book 1 Tommy and Tuppence Beresford visit Tommy’s aunt Ada in a retirement home called Sunny Ridge.
