Summary

What happens when your darkest secret is exposed?

Winnie Berry had been the landlady for the Battersea Tavern for over 25 years and loved every minute of it. Her husband Brian preferred the quiet of the upstairs, but Winnie liked to be in the thick of it: the atmosphere and the company.

While her son has taken after his father in more ways than one, she can't help but love him - David might not be able to hold down a job, but she would do anything to keep him safe. After all, once upon a time she'd made a mistake - something she'd do anything to put right. And when a young woman crosses her path, Winnie begins to wonder if her secret past is back...and if she will get another chance.

The first book in the Battersea Tavern series.

Surprisingly good

This is not my usual book type, going by the title etc I thought it would be like my other books, all about a mystery murder or hidden dark secret from the past that lead to murders with twists and turns.
Very soon after reading this I discovered it was not that type of book and was going to give up, but carried on reading. I’m glad I did as I enjoyed this book and now will look for the rest.

On my mind

This book was on my mind every time I put it down (stopped listening) and I couldn’t wait to resume. The narrator is absolutely fantastic with the different voices for each character which made it easy for the listener to identify the characters during the chapters. The story is pretty simple but gripping at the same time and had me wanting to find out more as the story progressed. It also had a cosy feel to it , perhaps because of the decade it was set. I will definitely be reading more from this author.
