Dangerous Waters - Mystery, loss and love on the island of
Guernsey
About the book:
"In her debut novel `Dangerous Waters' Anne Allen has knocked it out of the
ballpark. Part mystery, part romance, this cozy novel has the reader drawn in
from the first paragraph until the last page, and they will be wanting more."
'Oh my God, what's happening to me? After all this time, please, not
again!' Jeanne Le Page, gripped by fear and panic, struggles to breathe as the
ferry arrives in Guernsey, the island she had fled 15 years before, traumatised
by a family tragedy. Now she has to return after her grandmother's death. Jeanne
has inherited her cottage and she plans to sell it before returning to the UK.
Deeply unhappy after the recent end of a long-term relationship, she has no
desire to pick up her old life on the island. Suffering traumatic amnesia after
being involved in the accident that killed her family, Jeanne has experienced
nightmares for years. The return to Guernsey triggers frightening flashbacks and
Jeanne undergoes hypnosis to recover her memory, reliving the tragedy as the
ghosts continue to haunt her. But someone on the island does not want her to
remember, and she faces danger from an unexpected source... A contemporary story
of love and loss that will capture the reader's imagination, Dangerous Waters
will appeal to fans of female fiction. Anne is inspired by a number of authors,
including Robert Goddard, Katie Fforde and Mary Higgins Clark. A comparison can
be drawn to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer
and Annie Barrows.
About the Author:
in Guernsey for nearly fourteen years after I fell in love with the island and the people. I contrived to leave one son behind to ensure a valid reason for requent returns!
By profession I’m a psychotherapist but have long had creative ‘itches’, learning to mosaic, paint furniture, interior design and sculpt. At the back of my mind the itch to write was always present but seemed too time-consuming for a single mum with a need to earn a living. Now the nest is empty there’s more time to write and a second novel is gestating, but novels take a lot longer than children to be born!
