A daughter visits the island of Guernsey to unearth horrifying
family truths and solve a decades-old mystery surrounding her
mother, in this historical page-turner. 1958. Esme, a novelist,
finds a potential new literary project. A housemaid named Clara was
convicted of murder, perhaps unjustly, amid the ending of World War
II and the liberation of Guernsey from Nazi occupation. Esme's trip
to Guernsey is an opportunity not only to research the case, but to
learn more about her mother's family-as well as to heal from the
heartbreak inflicted on her by the man she loved . . . 1915. A
teenager marries her childhood sweetheart before he heads off to
fight in the Great War. But he doesn't come back, and Jane,
presumed a widow, flees Guernsey-devastated by her loss. In London,
Jane finds a new life and a new husband-but her past isn't done
with her yet. This absorbing novel follows the parallel paths of
two generations of women, and as each is faced with painful
decisions and shocking discoveries, a question emerges: Can a lie
be forgiven when the truth seems too much to bear?
A lawyer gets an unsettling message twenty years after her
lover’s death on 9/11, in this “fast-paced and emotional
page-turner” by the author of The Dilemma (Christian White,
bestselling author). At last, I’ve found you. A shock, I’m
sure. But in time, I’ll explain. Martin Back in 2001, a young
Lucie worked in New York City and was in love with Martin, who
promised to leave his wife for her. Then he became one of the many
victims of the terrorist attack of September 11. Two decades later,
Lucie has just joined the staff of a prestigious London law firm
after a bitter separation. However, her attempt at a new start is
derailed by a baffling hand-delivered note—signed Martin. Is her
vivid imagination playing tricks? Did her long-lost lover have
stage his own disappearance under the cover of that fateful day, or
could it be that someone else is stalking her? Filled with
compelling characters and unsettling plot twists, spanning London,
New York, and Sydney, A Voice in the Night is an addictive thriller
about one woman’s quest to solve a mystery from the past and the
thin line between hope and dread. “Masterful pacing and stealthy
execution . . . keeps you on the edge of your
seat and guessing right up until the end.” —Julietta Henderson,
author of The Funny Thing About Norman Foreman “An eerie and
riveting story.” —Lynn Hightower, author of Alien Blues “A
tightly crafted, clever thriller.” —Sarah Clutton, author of
The Daughter’s Promise
