LoveReading Says
I love this author. Real characters, strong plots and lots of incidents carry you along at a good pace. This, with its Cornish setting and compelling love story, is a great introduction to her work. Then there are many to try,
The Blue Note or
To Hear a Nightingale are my favourites.
