Escape to St Ives

When Annie Eustace sails into St Ives, she instantly turns heads. Glamorous, wealthy and generous to a fault, she quickly befriends Merrin, former solicitor now with a fledgling shop on vibrant Fore Street. But Annie's stories don't always add up. Why has she stayed so long? Where is the companion she arrived with? And why does she seem increasingly on edge?

As rumours stir on the Cornish coast, Annie's glittering façade begins to crack. Behind it Merrin will find a tangle of secrets including family tensions, hidden loyalties, and dangers that reach far beyond the harbour walls.

Deborah Fowler's first short story was published when she was seventeen. Since then, she has published over six hundred short stories, novels, a crime series and several works of non-fiction.

Deborah lives in a small hamlet just outside St Ives and her St Ives Mysteries series are set against the beautiful backdrop of the West Cornish coastline.
