This third volume in the Davies & West mystery series, set as they all are in far southwest Cornwall, England, brings back a few characters from one of my earlier, more romantic novels, Water, Stone, Heart, set in the coastal village of Boscastle which was devastated by a (real) flash flood in 2004.
Countless readers have demanded to know what happened to those characters and, in particular, to the nine-year-old girl, “Lee.”
Well, she’s back, older, and even more preternaturally wise. Also returning are several of the people who loved and cared for her.
But now they all are in danger.
