'Oh, you want to read this one--it makes me want to book a flight to Corfu this minute!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lucy Waring, a young, out-of-work actress from London, leaps at the chance to visit her sister for a summer on the island paradise of Corfu, and what's more, a famous but reclusive actor is staying in a villa nearby.

But Lucy's hopes for rest and romance are shattered when a body washes up on the beach and she finds herself swept up in a chilling chain of events...

Escape to Corfu and join the original queen of the page-turner Mary Stewart, as she leads you on a thrilling journey . . .
