About the Book

From the bestselling author of Things in Jars and The Night Ship comes the first in a new, cozy mystery series you will not be able to put down.

I believe every one of us is concealing some kind of secret.

1954: When her former novice’s dependable letters stop, she asks to be released from her vows at the convent. Haunted by a line in her pen pal's last letter, she arrives at a charming hotel in Gore-on-Sea in Kent.

A seaside town, a place of fresh air and relaxed constraints, is the perfect place for a new start. She hides her identity and pries into the lives of her fellow guests. But when a series of bizarre murders rattles the occupants of the hotel, it’s time to ask if a dark past can ever really be left behind.
