A debut thriller - set on Guernsey! Right now I'm more in the mood for fluffy than dark, but give it a few weeks and I may change my mind. #mynovbookmail

Jennifer returned to Guernsey, taking a job as a reporter at the local newspaper.

After the discovery of a drowned woman on a beach, she uncovers a pattern of similar deaths that‘ve taken place over 50 years.

With Gilbert, an officer on the verge of retirement, they follow a trail of myths to 'Fritz', the son of a Nazi. His work, painstakingly executed, has gone undetected. But with his identity about to be uncovered, Jennifer is in his sights.

Lara Dearman's debut thriller (the first in a series) is a so-so affair that tries too hard to set up the main character's back story to provide an overall series arc at the expense of the plot, which degenerates into an unsatisfying denouement that tells you very little about the antagonist's motive and which also made me uncomfortable with its depiction of children born to women who slept with Nazi occupiers during World War II.
