Summer Suspense Mystery for Readers

Arriving at her grandfather's cottage in Frenchman's Creek, Cornwall, in the dead of night, Kate Irving brings with her a young son, a small suitcase, and little else. The scattered community of fishermen, farmers, artists, and jetsetters barely take notice, as theirs is a rarefied world, tucked beneath the lush forest lining the banks of the Helford estuary, where life moves at a slow pace and people generally mind their own business. That is, unless your grandfather happens to be a pillar of the local community.

Kate has left her past behind and fiercely guards her privacy and that of her son. She is wary of accepting the friendship her new neighbours offer, but their kindness is too great to refuse, and she begins to feel she has found her place in the world. That is, until tragedy strikes, and her new friends look to her for the answers.

Soon, Kate learns that the past always catches up with you, in the end. The question is, will she be able to face it when it does?

Suspense is peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced mystery, set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape. As LJ Ross writes, "LJ Ross keeps company with the best mystery writers" ―The Times, and is considered "A literary phenomenon" ―Evening Chronicle.

You can run, but you can't hide. Kate Irving has discovered this truth the hard way, as she seeks refuge in the idyllic setting of Frenchman's Creek. However, the tranquil community she finds herself in is not as serene as it first appears, and the ghosts of her past are never far behind.

Forced to confront the demons she has tried to outrun, Kate must navigate a web of suspicion and betrayal, all while trying to protect her young son and the fragile happiness she has found in her new home. The landscape of Cornwall, with its rugged beauty and deep-rooted traditions, provides a stunning backdrop to this gripping tale of secrets and second chances.

As the mystery unfolds, Kate is forced to rely on the kindness and support of her unexpected new friends, who prove to be more than just casual neighbours. Through their unwavering loyalty and understanding, Kate begins to heal and find the courage to face her past head-on.

Ultimately, "You can run, but you can't hide" is a poignant exploration of the power of community, the resilience of the human spirit, and the inescapable nature of one's own history. With its blend of suspense, romance, and humour, this fast-paced narrative will keep readers captivated until the very last page.
