In this taut new thriller from the author of Chapel Field, one weekend of passion puts a woman at the center of a scandal that threatens to bury her . . .
When a spark ignites, Nina and Gabriel Da Silva, the mercurial busker at Halfmoon Lane, spend one weekend together at Nina’s isolated beachside home. Soon after, Nina receives some terrible news: Gabriel’s body has been found, and she’s been named a prime suspect.
Can Nina ever begin to piece her life back together or atone for her mistakes?
It turns out both conscience and love are heavy burdens, and Nina must learn to lean on the friends she has held at arm’s length . . .
REVIEW:
Although this novel fits within the thriller genre, I found it to be much more about the characters and how everything that takes place impacts them directly and shapes their personal development as well as relationships with each other. Friendships are put to the ultimate test and each of the characters learns something about themselves which in turn helps them to grow which really helps make the characters feel very believable.
The story is written from the points of view of Nina and Holly. Nina has fallen for a new man who meets an unfortunate end. Holly is the close friend who tries to help Nina along the way but is also out to seek the truth about what really happened and who was involved. Of the two characters I engaged more with Holly but both points of view help build an amazing story.
