‘I could not put it down and read it in one sitting’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
High in the rugged Pyrenees lies the Valley of the Storms, where a tiny convent clings to the beautiful but lonely mountainside. Jenny Silver arrives seeking her missing cousin, and is devastated when she learns of Gillian’s death following a terrible car accident.
But Jenny’s suspicions are aroused when she’s told the blue flowers ornamenting her cousin’s grave were Gillian’s favourite. Jenny knows Gillian was colour-blind – and so starts her mission to uncover what really happened to her…
Cozy up by the fire with a cup of tea and this escapist novel from the original queen of the page-turner Mary Stewart, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym.

A completely captivating story that never fails to grip the reader's attention
One of the most stupendously successful authors ever
There are few to equal Mary Stewart
She set the bench mark for pace, suspense and romance - with a great dollop of escapism as the icing
A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors.
