Verity comes from a rich family and, in contrast to the general conception of girls who live a privileged life like her, she is a sweet, caring girl. E tive pena de não haver um bocadinho mais de desenvolvimento da personagem do Miller, nomeadamente o seu romance com a Verity, mas foi uma boa leitura. We hear lots more about the officers' private lives and their interactions with each other in this volume. In addition to its vivid setting, puzzle enthusiasts will delight in and be challenged by the codes and ciphers littered throughout the text. What did the deceased have to hide and who was so intent on keeping their own secrets that they were prepared to brutally kill to do so?

O romance começa em 1935 e perlonga-se pelos anos seguintes o que nos permite conhecer uma capital londrina devassada pela guerra e pelos bombardeamentos a que o país estava sujeito. The procedural police work is well handled and paced showing the difficulty of piecing it all together.I grew to love both Verity and Ruby and when events in their lives spiralled out of control, I cared deeply for them and kept reading on to see what happened next. It gives a good insight into the backgrounds of Janet, Rachel and Jill and the relationships between them.

People’s hopes and expectations were for a future filled with prosperity and hope after the horror of the First World War now safely behind them but with Hitler on the move, fear is soon the norm again. She gave her child up to the care system, only to lose her again, and is convinced that the low-life boyfriend is to blame. Away from the her harsh childhood and a mother who couldn't look after herself let alone a child Ruby begins to thrive.There's a reason Lesley Pearse has sold over 10 million copies worldwide of the 23 books she has written and that is quite simply because she is a superb storyteller that never ever disappoints. She was not one for whining or complaining instead she sought any opportunity to make ends meet or make improvements no matter how big or small. They meet as teenagers in London, although they have totally different lives and backgrounds they become firm friends.

Couldn't wait for the next chapter ( limited myself to 3 chapters a day) would listen to it again and again.The book contained several storylines, which were all exciting, and after I closed it I was very satisfied with how they ended. She is my absolute favourite author and with this new book she has only reaffirmed all the good things I constantly say about her and all the recommendations of her back catalogue I make to friends. But when they are forced to deal with past traumas, their marriage is tested and buried secrets come to the surface. I’ve been so engrossed in this story I’ve been wearing my headphones all around the house, so antisocial! Like an all-in-one meal, there's something for everyone in this novel: romance, crime, murder, a bit of suspense, chick-lit and historical fiction (WWII).

Verity and Ruby should never have met given that they came from such diverse backgrounds, but it was very much a chance meeting that brought them together to form this unlikeliest of friendships. I love Lesley Pearse’s books and they make a great holiday read because they really draw you in and get you totally absorbed in the storyline.Suffice it to say that this not the author's best work, although I continue to enjoy the subplots which deal with the detectives' various domestic issues. It wasn't bogged down in historical fact that can become tiresome to read instead it felt natural and informative. I was introduced to this book by my Hairdresser and Friend, as Lesley Pearse is a Client and because it is set in Torquay.
