THE DANGERS OF FAMILY SECRETS

As a professional genealogist, Freya Cameron knows better than most that families are complex organisms in which past complications can cast long shadows. When it comes to her own family, she is less sure-footed. While she is resigned to the reticence displayed by her twin daughters, she is shocked when her loving husband of thirty years retreats into chilly politeness. When he finally drops his bombshell, she reacts with a reckless abandon that precipitates dramatic revelations and an appalled understanding that unresolved crimes have unresolved consequences.

DEBBY HOLT is a theatrical landlady who gains vicarious satisfaction from watching her lodgers shine onstage. She lives in Bath and is proud of the fact that her favourite author, Jane Austen, once lived there too. Her last novel, THE SOULMATE, is inspired by the romantic misadventures of family and friends.
