“Eerie, sexy and haunting, Le Chateau combines a rich setting with an exquisite, simmering tension. ”
Did she really have an affair with their charming Irish neighbour, as her enigmatic mother-in-law suggests? And what of Henri? He seems loving and kind, a good parent, but Charlotte is wary. Then there is Ada, a little girl who just wants her mother back.
With the help of her friend and fellow Australian Susannah, Charlotte starts to piece together events, but her newfound confidence is shaken with news that puts a deadline on her quest…
‘Le Chateau’ is a suspenseful gothic tale that will appeal to readers of Daphne du Maurier and Kate Morton.
