Readers who love atmospheric 1930s Cornish mysteries with secrets and slow-burn romance

Cornwall, 1934. Violet Ellis has grown used to living in the shadow of her father's ruined reputation, so when wealthy widower James Atherton offers her a position, she accepts and travels to his home on Aoife's Bay, a remote island off the Cornish coast. Yet the island is shadowed by unsettling rumours, and the Watch House holds secrets that someone would rather stay buried.

Jenny Ashcroft, author of Beneath a Burning Sky and Island in the East, brings her gift for atmosphere to a haunting, gothic-tinged tale in which love, mystery and the truth of the past collide. A perfect pick for readers who love Daphne du Maurier.
