YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE....

Kate Irving arrives at her grandfather’s cottage at Frenchman’s Creek in the dead of night with her young son, a small suitcase and little else. Its scattered community of fishermen, farmers, artists and jetsetters barely bat an eyelid, because theirs is a rarefied world, tucked beneath the lush forest that lines the banks of the Helford Estuary, deep in the heart of Cornwall, where life is slow and people generally mind their own business. Unless, of course, your grandfather happens to be a pillar of the local community....

Kate’s left the past behind and guards her privacy and her son fiercely. She’s wary of accepting the friendship her new neighbours offer, but their kindness is too great to refuse and she begins to feel she has found her place in the world. That is, until tragedy strikes, and her new friends look to her for the answers....

Kate soon learns that the past always catches up with you, in the end—the question is, will she be able to face it, when it does?

Suspense is peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced mystery, set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape.

I’m one who normally enjoy reading this author but this book was way below Ross’ previous standard of writing and story telling. The writing was grammatically incorrect in too many paces. The heroine, hero and villain almost charactures of themselves; the plot predictable to the point of being formulaic. Looking forward to a return to earlier standards.

disappointing soap opera

Starts well but then there are too many leaps and bounds to make the plot fit. A bit trite and not as exciting as it could be with the materials in the story. Narrator just ok.

Meh
