Synopsis

'Dark, insidious, unsettling, fabulous' Sharon Bolton

'Couldn't stop reading this compelling novel of scandals and affairs at the heart of seemingly idyllic seaside community. Great characters, setting, and a deliciously dark mystery at its heart.' Essie Fox

'You're immersed in an imaginary world that still feels very real - right down to the actual Dorset settings sprinkled throughout. The story twists and turns in a way that makes it both enjoyable to read and impossible to guess the ending' Dorset Magazine

'Staff Recommend HOMECOMING - this psychological thriller will keep you guessing till the end' Dorset Libraries

'Neatly plotted and totally engaging - it's another Ashdown triumph' Sussex Life

'Serious Big Little Lies vibes... Read in one sitting, it was so hard to put down... The author creates the perfect setting, full of tension and suspense, leaving the reader wanting more... Would highly recommend.' NetGalley Reviewer, 5 stars

Welcome to The Starlings... sun, sea and neighbours to die for.

Security, a sparkling sea view and the best kind of neighbours - The Starlings gated community has it all. Here, doors are left open, children run free, and at the heart of it all is the entrepreneurial Gold Family, who first dreamed up this aspirational vision of 'Dorset's Safest Community'. To the outside world the popular family appears glitteringly blessed... until an idyllic party takes a dark turn and one of their number is found slumped at the foot of the clocktower. Who knows what really happened? And what answers are harboured within the old building, the former Highcap Mother and Baby Home?'

PREORDER ONE GIRL, ONE SUMMER NOW - A BRAND NEW EMOTIONAL PAGETURNER SET IN THE BEAUTIFUL COASTAL TOWN OF HIGHCAP, DORSET

Goodreads review by Jennifer on April 12, 2023

3 stars for the first 400 pages, 4 stars for the last 100+. I generally like books by Kate Morton, but sometimes they drag and this was another example. At more than 500 pages, the story slowly builds the back story of the central death/mystery. Not until the final 100 pages or so did it start to ge......more

Goodreads review by Nicole on March 21, 2023

I finished this book about a week ago and have writers block every time I sit at the computer to write a review. Normally, I don't think twice about buying/reading a Kate Morton book, they're always so beautiful, inside and out. I know I'll care about the characters and the mysteries keep me guessin......more

5 stars! 2023 Favourites List! Kate Morton is my favourite author. I’ve read and loved all of her books. When a new release is published, it comes with a heavy personal expectation. I am thrilled to report this was just as magical and entrancing as I had hoped and come to expect from this author. The......more

Goodreads review by Laura on March 29, 2023

For Morton fans, this will be that comfy read they love. For others? Wow, does the book-within-a-book device make for some lazy writing. Instead of having Jess do her supposed job as an investigative journalist and do some investigating, giving her everything essentially on a platter via this book (......more

In 2018, Jess gets a call to come home to Australia as her Grandmother is ailing. A series of mysteries envelo......more
