A Lost Child. A Long-Kept Secret. The House That Holds The Key.
Spring 1937: Teresa is evacuated to London in the wake of the Guernica bombing. She thinks she’s found safety in the soothing arms of Mary Davidson and the lofty halls of Rochester Place, but trouble pursues her wherever she goes.
Autumn 2020: Corinne, an emergency dispatcher, receives a call from a distressed woman named Mary. But when the ambulance arrives at the address, Mary is nowhere to be found. Intrigued, Corinne investigates and, in doing so, disturbs secrets that have long-dwelt in Rochester Place’s crumbling walls. Secrets that, once revealed, will change her life forever. . .
Who is Mary Davidson? And what happened at Rochester Place all those years ago?
Set between the dusty halls of Rochester Place and the bustling streets of modern-day Tooting, this emotive, intricately layered mystery tells the spellbinding story of two people, separated by time, yet mysteriously connected through an enchanting Georgian house and the secrets within its walls.
What I thought Of The Secrets Of Rochester Place
I absolutely loved The Secrets Of Rochester Place. It was quite different to what I’ve been reading recently so it was really refreshing.
This timeslip mystery has dual timelines which enabled you to visit the individual characters in both wartime and modern-day Tooting. It was easy to engage with the characters, sharing their highs and lows and their struggles. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way keeping you gripped to the storyline, but never enough for you to forecast what is going to happen next.
The timelines eventually come together perfectly to unfold a wonderful ending.
For those who enjoy books on historical fiction, love, strength and hope, this is definitely worth a read!
Available on Amazon.

This sounds really good. I’m not really into historical novels but the dual timeline sounds intriguing. The last book I read was The Missing Ones by Patricia Gibney. Very dark and harrowing with a twist at the end.
