This book is set in both London and the Lake District; so a place (the Lake District) I was familiar with. It's a bit of mystery, a bit of history, some murder's, peppered with a little romance here and there. I did wonder at first how all the characters would mesh together, but they did wonderfully. It was one of those books I didn't want to put down as I wanted to know what happens next. I learned some new things from the book about William Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian; and it has made me want to read more of Val's books.
By the way, it looks as though different countries had different covers on their books, as the one I read had a different cover entirely.

This sounds like one to put on my list. I love the Lake district, being only an hours drive away. I love a book that I don't want to put down! Susie x
Sounds like a good read to take your mind off all that horrid humidity. Glad you got a little rest and relaxation!

I hope I can remember this name...maybe I will go add it to my list I have started of authors/books I want to check out.
Yes, they do all have different covers. I noticed that too. I haven't read any of Val's books yet but I am a great fan of P D James so will give it a try, when I get the time. I love having books recommended to me, don't you.

I haven't read any of her books either. Is it as gruesome as Wire in the Blood? It's brilliant but gives me the creeps.
Have to say I do like crime novels. I particularly like Anne Perry's books about Victorian crime. Also love the Cadfael books.
I shall look aout for this one
Oooo....looks like a good book. How was the language in it? I hate books with a lot of profanity in them.
It looks like we follow a few of the same blogs. Thanks for stopping by mine.
I'm back home and am trying to catch up on my blog reading a bit :o) I'm glad you had a quiet day and enjoyed the book, my Sweetheart tore through a book and a half over the weekend, so we had a nice quiet time too :o)
Thanks for the tip Gill, I am often loooking for something new to read. A x
