‘The Wicker Man meets Rebecca, with darkly beautiful surroundings and mysterious, brooding locals - this is the perfect summer holiday read' Fiona Leitch, bestselling author of the Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker cozy crime series
‘Intriguing contemporary whodunnit … profoundly unsettling' Crime Fiction Lover
‘The Gothic environment, at times evocative of some of the tales of Daphne du Maurier, is powerfully etched’ Crime Time
IN THE HEART OF CORNWALL, A MURDEROUS MIDSUMMER BEGINS ...
At midsummer the Cornish villagers of Trevennick dance around bonfires and make offerings to the river. It’s not the sort of thing that appeals to Audrey Delaney, who is very much a city mouse. But when her (sort of) boyfriend Noah whisks her away on a surprise trip to the West Country, she’s determined to do the best she can to enjoy herself, if that’s what it takes to remove the question mark from their relationship.
Then their first night ends in tragedy, and Audrey finds herself embroiled in a police enquiry and unsure who to trust. She’ll have to untangle the mysteries of this insular community quickly, though, because people are dying fast.
THE RIVER WILL HAVE ITS DUE ...
