Left for Dead- Paul J Teague- Crime
Charlotte and Will and their two children have moved to Morecambe to run a guest
house. They met there in their youth at a holiday camp where they were working, and
mostly have happy memories. Charlotte has a secret of what happened thirty odd years
ago that she has never told anyone. On their arrival she receives a message that links to
that event. Who on earth could know that she has returned and do they know what
happened that fateful night? I really enjoyed this- it kept me turning the pages. There
is a good solid plot and I took to the characters even though I did think that they might
have confided in each other rather more. Charlotte was possibly a little more reckless
than I would have expected but hey this is fiction and in the heat of the moment how
knows what we ourselves would do in those situations. I liked that it was ()loosly) based
on Paul’s experiences of a holiday camp (without the crime!!) which gave it that sold,
real life feel. This is my first book from Paul and would have no hesitation to be reading
the next ones in the trilogy. I like the ones that keeps me turning and with characters
that I can picture and enough drama to keep me on the edge of my seat without
frightening me witless!! This did all of those things and more. Thanks Paul- loved it.

Book Description:

A return to the past. Two guilty secrets. A memory that won't stay buried ...

When Charlotte and Will Grayson return to the seaside resort where they met as teenagers, they hope it'll help to heal the wounds in their marriage.

But visiting the dilapidated holiday camp where their relationship began brings terrible memories back from the past.

The man who'd once made their lives hell has come back to find them - only, the last time they saw him, they'd left him for dead on the beach.

As the threats to their new life become more severe, Charlotte and Will discover that they were mistaken about what happened to Bruce Craven on that fateful night.

And now he's returned to finish off what was started thirty years ago.
