An old house and a buried family secret that spans generations . . .

When Rosie Churchill moves into the beautiful but run-down Castaway House in the seaside town of Helmston in 1965, she uncovers a scandal that has been hidden for nearly half a century.

Robert Carver lived at Castaway House in its 1920s heyday, when it was the seaside home of a wealthy but damaged family caught up in a tragic case of mistaken identity, heartbreak and a suspicious disappearance.

Trying to bury her own difficult past, Rosie is looking for a fresh start. But the more she learns about Robert Carver, the further she is drawn into the mysterious history of the house. And the more their stories, old and new, entwine.

Reviews for The Mysterious Affair at Castaway House: The stunning debut for fans of Agatha Christie

I loved the gloriously, shamelessly old-fashioned title, with its hints of Agatha Christie and Josephine Tey . . . A fizzingly fresh story of mysteries-within-mysteries * Saga magazine * An elegantly written debut by an author to watch out for * Random Things Through My Letterbox, blogspot * Vivid and colourful . . . A well thought out, thorough mystery that does have you wanting to turn the next page * Lisa, Lisa Talks About * A tale of mystery, secrets and love * Female First * Highly absorbing * Love Reading * A delicious new mystery . . . We started reading this over lunch yesterday, and became so engrossed, it was a struggle to get back to work * Novelicious *
