Produktbeschreibung
On the hottest day of the summer, we wait for Molly on the riverbank, desperate to slip into the cool water. But as the sun starts to fade, it's clear she isn't coming. We'll never see our friend again... Years later, after an unexpected inheritance, Briony returns to her godmother's grand countryside home where she spent her teenage years. Despite its idyllic appearance, the old stone house carries memories Briony would rather forget. To escape the controlling behaviour of her godmother's son, Jeremy, Briony spent every possible moment with her best friends, Molly and Samantha, until the day Molly vanished without a trace. Briony is certain Molly was keeping a secret in those final days. Why else was she acting so strangely? And why did Briony constantly feel like they were being watched? When Briony discovers Molly's decades-old bathing suit in a locked part of the house, she begins to piece together what happened to her friend. But, as more skeletons come to light, is Briony ready to uncover the truth after so many years? An atmospheric and suspenseful drama about uncovering dark secrets and coming to terms with the past, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Susan Lewis.
Autorenporträt
Deirdre Palmer lives in Brighton, on the south coast of England, with her husband and their cat, Chester. She's the author of fifteen books, published and self-published, under her own name and as Zara Thorne. These are a mix of women's fiction, romcom and psychological suspense. While she was writing her first book, she entered the Mail on Sunday novel competition and came fourth, then entered again two years later and came fourth again! It was a while ago now, but the winners' lunch with Fay Weldon and other famous writers was a totally unforgettable experience and definitely inspired her to keep on writing. When she's not writing, she loves to read, obviously, and enjoys drawing and painting, visiting National Trust properties and the Sussex countryside, where she often sets her books, and meeting up with friends for coffee and chat, her favourite pastime!
