    About this audiobook

    ‘Utterly compelling.’ – Judy Finnigan

    In a family built on lies, who can you trust?

    Audrey Bailey will never forget the moment she met Ralph Templeton in the sweltering heat of a Bombay café. Her lonely life over, she was soon married with two small children. But things in the Templeton household were never quite what they seemed.

    Now approaching 70, and increasingly a burden on the children she’s always felt distanced from, Audrey plans a once-in-a-lifetime cruise around the Greek isles. Forcing twins Lexi and John along for the ride, the Templetons set sail as a party of three – but only two will return.

    On the night of her birthday, Audrey goes missing…hours after she breaks the news that the twins stand to inherit a fortune after her death. As the search of the ship widens, so does the list of suspects – and with dark clues emerging about Audrey’s early life, the twins begin to question if they can even trust one another…

      Summer: A Love Story

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Jane Miller assigned this book and the class divided up on its merits. I said that I cried and I did. Even though the letters that make it up sort of whirl and the fact that they were written is just about it in terms of writing. The class was bored about it and said so. Nonetheless, I did and that is at least a 4 regardless of whether the writing is capable of holding up what happened.

      An intriguing novel set in both the past and present life of a 70 year old woman who disappears whilst on a cruise with her grown up children.I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Harlequin via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review.
