Instead she feels isolated and unsettled. Strange events hint at underlying darkness and menace. Charlotte doesn't know who to trust.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.Sarah Ridouthas a Masters in Creative Writing (First Class Honours), from the select University College Dublin (UCD).

Beautifully written and I was seriously unable to put it down. I read most of it in one night. The novel opens with Charlotte returning home after suffering a head injury and how she puts the pieces of her life back together. As the reader we go with her as we too do not know who to trust and feel uncertainty about everyone. A wonderful suspenseful and romantic tale which will keep you guessing until the end. A very enjoyable read!

So what happened in the Chateau? Well... pretty much nothing. Read about it more here, and I promise it's #funny:

Is it rude to keep reading this while my partner's friends are over? ...
