About this listen

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.

it started off well, then became quite everyday in its' approach and storyline. A bit predictable. Disappointing from this author.

wasn't scintillating

Engaging story delightful characters set in a lovely part of the world. A nice companion piece to The Cove, similarly delightful tale.

Couldn’t s stop listening, such a delight to be steered through the twists and turns of sad, traumatic and some happy events..
an easy listen with characters superbly brought to life by the narrator.

Pleasant, real and thoroughly enjoyable.

Enjoyed the book but I wish they wouldn’t keep say ‘he said’ ‘she said’ when two people are in conversation and it’s obvious….

Good
