The Sea Garden (CH)

"For excitement, elegance and sheer virtuosity Llewellyn's thrillers sail rings around the competition." LITERARY REVIEW "A dazzling novel by one of Britain's most acclaimed thriller writers." THE TIMES "Masterly... entertaining, witty and utterly gripping." OLDIE When Victoria and Guy Blakeney-Jones inherit the tiny Cornish island of Trelise, it looks as if they have lucked into an idyll. The sub-tropical Priory gardens - laid out in 1845 on the site of an ancient monastery by Guy's ancestor, the herbalist Joshua Jones - await restoration to their former splendour. As work proceeds, a skeleton with a fractured skull is unearthed in the Sea Garden. With the help of Trelise's library, letters and diaries, Victoria begins a search for the skeleton's identity. But as she digs deeper into the tormented history of five generations of Joneses, she sheds light on buried secrets: secrets that germinate into a nightmare.
