Foxden Acres, a place where dark secrets and bittersweet memories linger...

As Bess Dudley celebrates New Year's Eve at the newly launched Foxden Hotel - the former country house where she grew up as daughter of the groom - she finds herself overcome with poignant memories. Jolly music fills the air and champagne corks pop, and Bess is remembering her first love - the handsome heir James Foxden. But then, an ominous voice pierces through the revelry, sending shivers down Bess's spine. It belongs to a man with a violent past - a man with dangerous alliances from the war. Bess's sister reveals that this man, Sutherland, is a Nazi sympathiser. How has he infiltrated their haven, and why?

Then, an unexpected tragedy strikes when a body is discovered in the lake, casting a shadow over the hotel's future. Unanswered questions plague Bess, and a growing sense of unease gnaws at her. So much is at stake - why does it seem like her new husband Frank is hiding things from her?

When military intelligence becomes involved, it's clear that the war may have officially ended, but its repercussions are still impacting the Dudley sisters' lives. Can Bess unmask the killer in their midst and untangle the threads of deception that bind Foxden Acres in time to protect the sanctuary she holds most dear?

An utterly unputdownable historical novel about the lingering shadows of World War Two, perfect for fans of Rachel Wesson, Shirley Dickson and Glynis Peters.
