At the intimate house-warming party for her glorious ‘grand design’ on the Island, Kathleen confides in her best friend Beth that she is terrified of one of their close friends, but daren’t reveal which one. The next day Kathleen’s body is found at the foot of a cliff. All the friends have secrets they are desperate to hide, but only one of them is ready to kill to keep theirs safe…
Churchill’s Last Wartime Secret
Adrian Searle sets to challenge the assertion that no German force set foot on Britain during WWII (except for The Channel Islands.)
The Scandalous Lady W
When Lord and Lady Worsley divorced it shocked the nation. A true tale of Georgian scandal, Rubenhold unearths the story of Lady Worsley and her salacious affairs. The Worsleys resided at Appuldurcome House on the Isle of Wight.
When I look back I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature.
