Overview

It began as a murder mystery, more than twenty years old and remaining unsolved, and it held a special fascination for Kim and Diana because Kim had inadvertently rented the scene of the crime – but as they were to discover, once you start digging in such circumstances, you’re almost bound to disinter things that other people wish to keep hidden. You can place yourself in grave danger, and in extreme instances, you could lose your own life. The phrase “where the bodies are buried” takes on a new and sinister significance. And if you’re clever enough to find the murderer, it doesn’t end there. How can it? When someone has killed, when someone has moved heaven and earth to cover up the deed and succeeded for so long a time there are going to be all kinds of smaller crimes that have arisen out of the original deception. Lies may be the least of them. Even when you think you have found the truth, is it the whole truth?

`Jane Hatton has proved herself to be a magician, conjuring up real people who seem to emerge three-dimensionally from the pages of her books.' Ben Gavan, Cornish World; `...this is a book whose chapters are much like the sea itself, sometimes calm, sometimes angry, but always with a wave of emotion rising to the surface.' Clevedon Mercury; `Writing about the country in which she lives and so obviously loves, Jane Hatton does not over-romanticise her locations. They are after all only the settings for her real gems, her characters...' Jo Barclay, West Briton

Author Information

Jane Hatton was a child during World War II, and grew up in the unpermissive fifties, when career options for women were largely confined to Secretary, Nurse, Teacher, Physiotherapist. She opted for the first, thinking the skills required would be useful in her preferred career as a writer, but has also worked in hotels, as a sailing instructor, in a craft workshop and as a cookery demonstrator – a remarkably unstructured career – while continuing to write whenever there was a spare moment: sometimes there were not many! She has had two children's books published in the mainstream (a while ago now), followed by three novels in the genre of “literary fiction”, plus The One Too Awful to Mention – which we don't mention – and has also independently published a long series about the Nankervis family and their friends and relations, all set in various areas of the West Country. Apart from writing, her interests include sailing, painting – including at one time scenery for the local pantomime – archaeology, photography and cooking. She lives in Cornwall, on her own these days, with a small black cat for company and a background of family and friends.
