Every summer Annabel Kendal joins her extended family on a holiday at her grandmother’s house in Devon.
Yet a dark shadow casts its presence over each trip – 28 years ago Annabel’s Aunt Hilary was brutally murdered on a similar holiday when Annabel was just a toddler.
With no one found guilty, the subject has been hushed away and is now taboo on their trips.
When an over-zealous journalist starts digging around the murder, the suspicion and guilt in Annabel’s family comes back to the surface.
Annabel starts researching into the truth, and the discovery of her much-maligned French mother Monique’s diary reveals some alarming details.
With the added pressure of her marriage struggling and a series of anonymous phone calls, Annabel is drawn into the middle of a dark family secret.
‘Past Shadows’ is another absorbing murder mystery from crime thriller author Anthea Fraser.
Praise for Anthea Fraser:
“A superbly crafted, riveting, page-turner of a read" - Booklist
“Ms Fraser is her dependable elegant, guileful self withholding the killer's identity till a dying fall" - Sunday Times
“A well-mannered, well-plotted and well-told story” - Birmingham Post
“Sympathetic, well-executed book, in which full attention is paid to human feelings and failings” - Yorkshire Post
“Anthea Fraser is a worthy follower of the traditional whodunit system...The plot is sustained throughout, and her artistic detective who literally "draws conclusions" is an original character.” - Sunderland Echo
Anthea Fraser has written all her life but did not begin to take it seriously until after marriage, when she found herself at home with two small daughters and embarked on a correspondence course with the London School of Journalism. She wrote short stories before turning to novels of the supernatural, and then to crime. Her novels include ‘The Seven Stars’, ‘The Ten Commandments’, ‘Death Speaks Softly’ and ‘Pretty Maids All in a Row’.
