An <em><strong>atmospheric and tantalising read</strong></em>." -- Elizabeth Bailey, author of The Gilded Shroud.<br /> <br /> "I've never been to Guernsey but I'm determined to go now that I've read this book. It's a book you can settle into and really enjoy, but it's a lot more than chick-lit. There's an <em><strong>intriguing mystery</strong></em>, a finish which had me reading into the early hours of the morning and an insight into what I think of as the back-end of the publishing industry the bit that the reader never sees or even knows exists. It's delivered with a light touch but gives the book real depth. I was impressed. **** -- Bookbag.co.uk</p><p>5* "Super story</p><p>I loved this book and the descriptions of the area make you feel like you are there, great characters and loved the way the story unfolds".</p><p> </p><br>
