Publisher Description
An unforgettable novel about love and trust
Rebecca Wilding, an archaeology professor, makes sense of the past for a living.
But suddenly, truth and certainty are turning against her. Rebecca is accused of serious fraud, and worse, she suspects – she knows – that her husband, Stephen, is having an affair.
Desperate to find answers, Rebecca leaves with Stephen for Greece, Italy and Paris, where she can uncover the conspiracy against her, and hopefully win Stephen back to her side, where he belongs. There’s too much at stake – her love, her family, her work.
But on the idyllic Amalfi Coast, Stephen disappears.
In a swirling daze of panic and fear, Rebecca is dealt with fresh allegations. And with time against her, she finds help in the most unlikely of places, and uncovers the secrets that stand between her and Stephen – and the deceit that has chased her halfway around the world.
Sometimes marriage is a lonely place.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
An accomplished screenwriter, Ann Turner brings a cinematic sense of dramatic tension and setting to her debut novel. With a professorship, a stunning coastal home and two successful grown children, archeologist Rebecca should be sitting pretty, but her personal and professional lives are in danger of falling apart. Attempting to put distance between herself and allegations of fraud—and to mend her marriage—Rebecca heads to the Mediterranean with her husband. But when Stephen goes missing, Rebecca is more embattled than ever. We had pins and needles trying to unravel the truth throughout Turner’s crisply written, cleverly plotted tale of deceit.
Customer Reviews
First Book by New Author
The prose is overly descriptive at the start but it soon settles into the plot. Not a bad first book. The 2nd book (which I am now reading) settles into the plot much more quickly. The Lost Swimmer is worth a read.
Thoroughly enjoyable
I read this book in just a couple of days. The story kept me in suspense and I enjoyed the descriptions of Rebecca's home, her love of Greek antiquities and hers and Stephen's trip to Crete, Italy, Greece.
Not exactly a page turner
One of those books that draws a sigh of relief when finished.
