Go to my Grave

Donna Weaver has put everything into The Breakers, a freshly painted, richly furnished, and filled with flowers house. However, as the guests arrive, they discover they've been here before - twenty-five years ago. When a party started with peach schnapps and Postman's Knock ended with a girl walking into the sea and the rest of them making a vow of silence, they locked it in a box, stitched their lips, and went to their grave. But one of them has broken the pact, and before the weekend is over, someone will have gone to their grave. "Go To My Grave" is a classic country house mystery and a thriller by Catriona McPherson. It is atmospheric, with mind-bending twists, a narrator who may or may not be reliable, and an ending that will take your breath away and leave you astonished. Highly recommended by Library Journal.

The Breakers

In the enchanting coastal town of Brighton, a beautiful house by the sea stands as a testament to the enduring bond of eight old friends. Three days in September, marked by laughter, food, and wine, seemed like a cherished reunion, but as the sun set on the third day, the friends parted ways, each carrying their own secrets and memories. However, the truth behind this seemingly ordinary gathering is far more intricate and mysterious.

Donna Weaver, the owner of the Breakers, has poured her heart and soul into this magnificent property. Every detail has been meticulously attended to, from the freshly painted walls to the lavish furnishings and the abundance of flowers that grace every corner. The anticipation of the first guests arriving is palpable, and Donna eagerly awaits their arrival.

Yet, as the guests begin to arrive, they soon realize a startling truth: they have all been to the Breakers before. Twenty-five years ago, a party that began with laughter and camaraderie ended in tragedy when a young woman, consumed by the darkness of her past, walked into the sea, leaving behind a vow of silence and a box containing a secret that had been buried for years.

The promise of a weekend of relaxation and camaraderie quickly turns into a suspenseful journey as the guests begin to unravel the mysteries that lie within the walls of the Breakers. Each one discovers hidden passages, secret rooms, and artifacts that hint at the tragic events of the past. As the weekend progresses, tensions rise, and the promise of closure fades into the distance.

One of the friends, driven by a desire for truth and justice, breaks the vow of silence and begins to investigate the events of that fateful night. As they delve deeper into the past, they uncover a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal that threatens to destroy the fragile bond of their friendship.

In a race against time, the friends must confront their darkest fears and secrets before it is too late. The Breakers becomes a place of danger, where the line between reality and illusion blurs, and the consequences of their actions could be fatal.
