Foxden Acres, a place where dark secrets and bittersweet memories linger... As Bess Dudley celebrates New Year's Eve at the newly launched Foxden Hotel - the former country house where she grew up as daughter of the groom - she finds herself overcome with poignant memories. Jolly music fills the air and champagne corks pop, and Bess is remembering her first love - the handsome heir James Foxden. But then, an ominous voice pierces through the revelry, sending shivers down Bess's spine. It belongs to a man with a violent past - a man with dangerous alliances from the war. Bess's sister reveals that this man, Sutherland, is a Nazi sympathiser. How has he infiltrated their haven, and why? Then, an unexpected tragedy strikes when a body is discovered in the lake, casting a shadow over the hotel's future. Unanswered questions plague Bess, and a growing sense of unease gnaws at her. So much is at stake - why does it seem like her new husband Frank is hiding things from her? When military intelligence becomes involved, it's clear that the war may have officially ended, but its repercussions are still impacting the Dudley sisters' lives. Can Bess unmask the killer in their midst and untangle the threads of deception that bind Foxden Acres in time to protect the sanctuary she holds most dear? An utterly unputdownable historical novel about the lingering shadows of World War Two, perfect for fans of Rachel Wesson, Shirley Dickson and Glynis Peters.
Autorenporträt
I was bought up in a busy pub in a market town called Lutterworth. For as long as I remember, I wanted to be an actress and writer. I was offered a television role when I was sixteen, but my mother wanted me to have a 'proper' job, so I did a hairdressing apprenticeship instead. Eight years later, aged twenty-four, I sold two successful businesses for a place at East 15 Drama College and a career as an actress, working in Repertory theatre, the West End, film and television. In 2000 I gave up acting, taught myself to touch type, completed a two-year college course and began writing articles and presenting radio. In 2010, after living in London for thirty-six years, I returned to Lutterworth, swapping two window boxes and a mortgage for a garden and the freedom to write - and I loved it. Since then, I have written a series of ten novels. The first four books, set in World War Two, introduce the Dudley sisters. Three post-war books follow, and then three mystery, crime and spy thrillers take the Dudley sisters to 1960. Each story stands alone but is interwoven with the other stories.
