Ten years ago, Hope Jenkins, who was 23, took a job as assistant to author Ambrose (who goes by Rosie) Glencourt, at his estate outside of London, called Shadowlands. The estate is isolated, has no cell service or internet, and his wife, Delia, and a man named Tom also live there. From the minute she got there, she knew things were weird here. She would see Rosie and his wife getting frisky, they would have parties, and there was fighting. Hope got used to everything, she and Tom fell in love, and then tragedy struck and Hope left with a shocking secret that has affected her to this day. When she sees the new book published by Rosie, she is outraged, it’s the story of her time at Shadowlands and the shocking secret of what happened ten years ago. Rosie goes to the police, who open an investigation, and she’s determined to get the truth out, only to discover a shocking truth when she returns to the scene of the crime. A thrilling psychological thriller, with twists and turns and one woman’s determination to turn her life around and get the truth out. A good summer beach read.
