A year has passed since the events of book one, Watching You Fall, and Kirsty Wilmott from Devizes has blessed us with a second fantastic novel in her series.

Anna and her parishioners have begun to run retreats for those in need of time out, at the heart-stoppingly beautiful Lizard. This brings together a disparate group of people whose stories begin to unravel when a body is found, draped over the old lifeboat ramp. Anna, Simeon, Archie and Harriet have to overcome their own anxieties to walk with these four people, until Anna is able to work out what really happened.

"A captivating, intriguing and well-paced read. Vivid descriptions ,,, The plot twists and turns keeping you guessing as the suspense builds right up to the end. A splendid whodunit" – Lily Rose

Hosted by Malmesbury Abbey Books, Kirsty will be here in the Abbey to chat about her book, her writing and answer any questions you might have about these!

Go to kirstywilmott.com to find out more about her books!
