I have read a few books by Milly Johnson and this is completely different from her other books. It tells the tale of three career girls who are busy and appear to have it all! Appearances can be deceiving as Lara, Clare and May are all experiencing turmoil. What better way to forget it all than to escape to a luxury spa in the country. The only problem, there is a mix up with the booking and they end up in a cosy cottage in the village of Ren Dullem where the locals are less than friendly and the sky is filled with strange clouds.
Clare discovers a hidden lagoon underneath the cottage and so begins an adventure. The Hathersage brothers Val, Frank and Gene all provide interest for the ladies but this results in even more problems for the ladies who find coffee kiosks being shut in front of them, unfriendly locals and a very disgruntled Daisy Unwin.
Then there is Joan who is attempting to make money by defrauding an elderly lord until she also discovers that there is a secret hidden in the village and does her best to reveal it. As the ladies get further through their stay they find themselves falling in love with the village and discovering things about themselves. This is a great read and hard to put down once you start
