Summary
YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE....
Kate Irving arrives at her grandfather’s cottage at Frenchman’s Creek in the dead of night with her young son, a small suitcase and little else. Its scattered community of fishermen, farmers, artists and jetsetters barely bat an eyelid, because theirs is a rarefied world, tucked beneath the lush forest that lines the banks of the Helford Estuary, deep in the heart of Cornwall, where life is slow and people generally mind their own business. Unless, of course, your grandfather happens to be a pillar of the local community....
Kate’s left the past behind and guards her privacy and her son fiercely. She’s wary of accepting the friendship her new neighbours offer, but their kindness is too great to refuse and she begins to feel she has found her place in the world. That is, until tragedy strikes, and her new friends look to her for the answers....
Kate soon learns that the past always catches up with you, in the end—the question is, will she be able to face it, when it does?
Suspense is peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced mystery, set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape.

Very enjoyable
Really enjoyed this L J ROSS. Somewhat different from the DCI Ryan books. A nice gentle pace and not as intense either.

Slow burner
Took a long while to get into then okay. The narration sounds like an automated message and the speed is very odd which detracts from the story.

An enjoyable light read
Although not long, this book contains a lot - adventure, mystery, murder, romance and thrills as Kate flees from an abusive husband to stay with her grandfather in the village where she had spent much of her childhood.
Before long, there’s a murder, which leads her to wonder whether her own parents death 15 years earlier was actually the accident they had presumed it to be…
