NEW RELEASE
The Disappearance of Emily Marr - Louise Candlish (2013)
Tabby has arrived in a French coastal village, broken hearted and skint, with nowhere to stay for the night. After overhearing a woman's access code to her house, Tabby lets herself in. But the woman isn't heading off on holiday as Tabby suspected and instead returns to find Tabby asleep in a bed, like Goldilocks. Amazingly Emmie opens her house to the fellow Brit down on her luck and even finds her a job. But as time goes on Tabby begins to wonder what's up with the reclusive Emmie and starts investigating her background. With a slowly unravelling mystery told through parallel stories and a you'll-never-guess-it-in-a-fit twist, this gripping novel has such fascinating characters and masterful plotting, it will leave you musing long after you close the book. Just watch out for the abrupt ending.
The Disappearance of Emily Marr, by Louise Candlish, is a story of secrets and scandal. The summary says: "Arriving on the windswept Ile de Re off the coast of France, Tabby Dewhurst is heartbroken and penniless, unable even to afford a room for the night. Then she overhears a villager repeating aloud the access code to her front door and, hardly believing her own actions, Tabby waits for the villager to leave and lets herself into the house . . . And so she enters the strange, hidden world of Emmie, whose sudden offer of friendship is at odds with her obsession with her own privacy. Soon Tabby begins to form suspicions about Emmie, suspicions that will lead her back to England - and to a scandal with shattering consequences." The Disappearance of Emily Marr is out in August 2013.
