WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT? You’d kill for a holiday like this one… Chloe has spent months planning the murder of her husband, Scott. Everything is ready, but first she must create the perfect alibi to avoid any suggestion of her involvement in his death. And what better way to avoid suspicion than playing the loved-up wife on an extravagant holiday with their extended families? A luxury villa on the Greek island of Mykonos should provide the ultimate setting for her week of make-believe married bliss. But as the sun sets on their first evening in paradise, the cracks in Chloe’s plan begin to show. Family rivalries bubble to the surface. Scott’s sister, Tori, begins to ask awkward questions, suggesting she might know more about Chloe’s plans than she should. Then there’s the villa concierge, Grace, who is watching her guests’ every moves. As tensions rise, can Chloe manage to keep her murderous intentions hidden? And can she stop herself from adding a few more people to the body count along the way?

WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT? 1715: With the country on the brink of rebellion, Dorothy Forster’s life at Bamburgh Hall is ruled by the men in her life – her feckless brothers stirring up trouble at court, her elderly father with his dangerous secrets and the man she loves who the world seems determined to keep her apart from. As tensions grow, Dorothy finds herself caught between the warring factions, danger everywhere. Then Dorothy discovers her family are the keepers of the legendary Rose, the talisman both sides believe will guarantee them victory in this deadly conflict. Now Dorothy will have to risk everything to keep the Rose safe; the fate of the country and the men she loves rests in her hands. Present Day: Hannah Armstrong has returned home to Bamburgh Hall for work but when she discovers that her stepmother Diana has been keeping worrying secrets, her focus shifts to getting to the truth. Their family home once belonged to heroic Dorothy Forster, whose portrait graces the walls and whose spirit lingers in her home, but soon Hannah learns that there was much more to this formidable woman. Because Dorothy left behind a mysterious legacy and it’s not long before Hannah realises it’s one people are willing to kill for. Now Hannah is in a race against time to unravel the secrets of the past before danger arrives at their door. Two women divided by time but bound by a centuries’ old mystery. Bestseller Nicola Cornick is back with a brand-new thrilling adventure, a heartbreaking love story and the unforgettable story of how the courage of one woman can save a family and even save a nation. MY THOUGHTS Once again, Nicola Cornick creates a dual-timeline novel that captures the imagination as well as your heart, making THE SECRETS OF THE ROSE simply unputdownable. With two strong, intelligent female main characters, we are drawn deeply into a story that is emotional and compelling. In the present day, Hannah has returned home to Bamburgh Hall to focus on her work but it soon becomes obvious that there are secrets hidden in the hall's depths and her stepmother knows more than she is letting on. Bamburgh Hall is also the setting for Dorothy Forster but as it is 1715 Dorothy is living a much different life to Hannah. Restricted at every turn, Dorothy is fighting to protect those she loves and the Rose, a legendary talisman, that both sides of a dangerous rebellion will do anything to get their hands on. But can she make it through when the odds are heavily stacked against her? With a stunning setting and characters that genuinely make you care about them, THE SECRETS OF THE ROSE by Nicola Cornick is a wonderful read from beginning to end. History is effortlessly interwoven with elements of danger, love, and the formidable strength of women, making Nicola Cornick one of the best dual-timeline writers ever.
