2000s: Your friend’s child is missing. It’s your fault.
Your friend’s child is missing. It’s your fault.
A husband, three children and a full-time job, so many plates to keep spinning.
No wonder you forgot you were supposed to be looking after your friend’s daughter.
But no one has seen her since yesterday. And she’s not the first to go missing from your small town.
So who’s hiding something?
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.
