About this listen

Esme Posorsky is an enigma. For as long as people can remember, she has been part of community life in the quaint Cornish fishing village of Tremarnock, but does anyone really know her? She is usually to be found working in her pottery studio or at home with her beloved cat, Rasputin. But when an old school friend turns up with a secret from the past, nothing will ever be the same again.

Meanwhile teenager Rosie is excited to find a bottle washed up on Tremarnock beach with a message from a former German prisoner of war. While the rest of the village is up in arms about a new housing development, she sets out to find him. Little does she know, however, that her discovery will unleash a shocking chain of events that threatens to blow her family apart.

Tremarnock may look like a cosy backwater, but some of its residents are about to come face to face with tough decisions and cold reality....

I enjoy this book , revisiting characters from previous book . sadly vital part of the story is missing. chapter 17 has the end section missing and the story jumps to the next chapter.

end of chapter 17 missing

You can guess what was going to happen, way back, and the ending was so disappointing, it felt like the author was so fed up with the story, by the end, that it was going along , then suddenly I heard “the end “”What !!! Yet I have listened to other stories by Emma, and was not disappointed !!

Tediously slow, in parts

This book literally did have something missing - the last 14 minutes of chapter 17.
It also missed the charm of the previous books in the series, which I have really enjoyed. This one seemed a little contrived.
I managed to follow the story quite easily without the missing 14 minutes. This in itself is rather telling.
Max’s accent was also rather patchy; at times he appeared to be French, rather than German.
All in all, a somewhat disappointing listen.

Something missing...
