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.

All a bit sugary sweet whilst skating round domestic abuse and murder! Easy enough to listen to but the super melodramatic tone of the narrator at the end of each chapter was jarring. Glad it was included in membership rather than I paid for that!

Harmless enough!

Very disappointed in this book as I really enjoy the DCI Ryan series. The characters were very stereotypical and the plot was predictable.

Disappointing

This storyline by L J Ross & excellently narrated by Clare Corbett is a story to lose yourself in, so much so it gets one’s heart racing. Can’t wait to hear the next book.

The narration is very quick paced, even when the scene at hand doesn’t call for it, making you feel like the whole thing is told in a rushed and overly dramatised way. Off putting unfortunately.

Probably a good book but..

The Narrator was very good and loved 'the little boy's voice'. The storyline was interesting, but I felt that near the end was rushed and could of had a more details and action involved.

Near the ending a bit rushed
