Synopsis

Everyone deserves a second chance. Don’t they? 

After losing her husband in a car accident, leaving her permanently scarred, wealthy widow Kat Alexander moves to the countryside to start a new life. Mourning not only her husband, but her last chance of motherhood, Kat is distraught.  

Encouraged by her new and only friend Ginny, owner of the local animal sanctuary, Kat joins Young and Widowed, dubbed ‘The Coffin Club’ by its members.

There she meets young Spanish widower, Nico. Instantly drawn to each other, Nico seems like Kat’s perfect match. He is kind, caring, handsome, eager to settle in the UK, and most importantly, a father to five-year-old Magdalena, ‘Midge’.  

This could be Kat’s shot at the one thing she has always wanted: to be a mother. But sometimes, be careful what you wish for…

‘Perfect ‘romantic-noir’ … Well-crafted and chilling!’ 

S E MOORHEAD, author of Witness X 

‘A compelling debut with a superbly twisted end.’ 

SARAH CLARKE, author of A Mother Never Lies

My review

The name and the cover drew me into this one.  And if that wasn’t enough, I am always saying to be careful what you wish for because you just may get it, but not how you’ve expected. I read this quickly.  It is a little darker than I normally read, but the tension and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat.  The plot perfectly sets up the twisty ending, that you’ll kick yourself for not picking up on all the clues.  I can’t believe this is a debut author and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
