Two violent deaths. Separated by time, but with a fatal connection…

 

A man loses his father. A young woman loses her mother. Both in tragic circumstances that lead, when they meet, to surprising revelations from the past.

Louisa needs to find the father she has never known, to warn him of possible danger - for them both. Her search takes her from England to Guernsey. Malcolm's journey is more tortuous: conceived in Guernsey, he travels to Canada as a baby with his bereaved mother. Many years later he arrives in India, and from here he is led back to Guernsey to open a health centre at La Folie. This was his father's home, where Malcolm was conceived, but never lived and where his father was killed at the start of the Second World War.

 

At the heart of the two deaths lie stolen jewels. Valuable enough to kill for. Twice.

 

Finding her father brings Louisa more than she bargains for, and her life is transformed, while Malcolm learns that life is, after all, for sharing…

 

Praise for Guernsey Retreat

'I enjoyed the descriptive tour while following the lives of strangers as their worlds collide, when the discovery of a body, and the death of a relative draw them into links with the past. A most pleasurable, intriguing read.' Glynis Smy, author of Maggie's Child.
