What you need to know before your trail

She’s one of the family. You would trust her with your life, your children, your husband.

Travel Guide
Travel around the Lake District with Paula Daly novels
The Windermere novels are all set in and around the stunning Lake Windermere. The setting is a major focus in the books and sets up a sense of community and rural well being. However, peel back a few layers and you will soon see that this is far from rural paradise.
Affairs, abductions, lies, marriages gone wrong, school children misbehaving, mistrust and more are happening in the Lakes behind closed doors (nice ones mind with porches and posh cars parked outside.)
The author lives in the area and has obviously imagined what goes on behind closed doors, net curtains or posh blinds. The people here might live in nice farmhouses, go to rural schools and drive 4x4s but they are still human and flawed.
There are many real locations on the map which were used in the TV version of two of the novels.
