The Retreat by Mark Edwards
Read May 2018.
Lucas, a horror novelist with writer's block, decides to go back to his hometown in rural Wales, where the tragic Julia has opened up her home as a writer's retreat. Julia is trying to piece her life back together after the disappearance of her daughter, Lily, and the death by drowning of her husband, two years ago.
Lily's body has never been found and Julia believes that she is still alive.
Lucas himself is trying to recover from the death of his wife and he finds himself drawn to Julia. Can he discover what happened to Lily? Who is the mysterious Red Widow and was she responsible for the disappearance of Lily?
What a great read. Creepy, dark and thrilling, I could not put it down until I knew the truth about the Red Widow.
I am a sucker for books about small town communities full of secrets and lies and this fits the bill nicely.
