The Hidden Truth by Hilary Boyd
4.0
I will admit that one thing that I was interested to learn more about is the fact that Hastings is mentioned in the book description. As I live in East Sussex this was a definite draw card.
Then to start reading and realise there were more references to places that I am quite familiar with. A good example of this is Sara, a widow, who lives in Lewes. Both of her daughters are keen for her to date as it has been a good many years since her husband has passed away, but she is not finding the process easy.
Sara ends up meeting Bernard in a cafe, when she is meant to be meeting another date instead. They appear to hit it off. But Bernard seems to avoid moving things forward. Then he does show an interest.
Bernard is racked with secrecy. Eventually he shares this secret with Sara. It does concern Sara and then she too is burdened with this secret that she can’t share with anyone.
I then got hooked on the story wanting to know how it would all unfold.
Thanks to the publisher who provided access to this book via Net Galley.
