Description

A moment in time that altered everything, that sent the world crashing down around one person…

Fashions change continuously. The law isn't any different. It undergoes changes, often brought about by social attitudes and sometimes in the wake of notorious cases.

Authorities may get carried away by the need not to be seen to have acted dismissively or wrongly or too late. Rampant political correctness may result in a failure to carry out even-handed investigations, leading to injustices.

And of course someone has to suffer…

This gripping contemporary thriller takes the reader into a dark and murky subject. This is the perfect lockdown read in which secrets accumulate, white lies yield unwanted results, blackmail is ruthlessly employed and family relationships are tested.

Don Morrison, has a new live-in girlfriend, Grace Bennett. His eighteen year old daughter, Emma, newly arrived home from university for her first summer vacation, isn't happy to have her home invaded, as she sees it, by this other woman, especially so soon after the death of her mother, Carol, who was very ill for many years and was cared for by Don.

Grace's twenty year old son, Luke, lives at home with his father, Greg, Grace's husband.

The five main characters progress through the hot, rural East Anglian summer, some rather haphazardly, others with a more definite purpose. A young woman, Alex, known to some of them helps things along.

The law takes over at one point, its effects quite devastating for the unprepared.

Readers said:

'Great story...Good ending'

'I don't know what else to say about this story other than I absolutely loved it. It had me hooked from the beginning and was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Very engaging plot'

'Excellent dialogue and characters'

'The book is character driven and to my mind, a psychological thriller. It slowly builds pace and becomes more menacing. It kept me guessing where the twists in the plot would lead. The sex scenes were well written. The police scenes were excellent. A good read' Pauline Manders, well-known author of an established, detective series set in Suffolk

'…an entertaining read that will keep you absorbed' J Domino

There's so much to admire in this novel: the mastery of dialogue, authentic situations, nuanced and relatable characters, the list goes on. It's certainly a page-turner, compulsively readable and so easy to become immersed in' Steve Ellis

I was not expecting the twists it took in the storyline. A pleasant surprise in a read that kept me engaged in the story. And then- an ending that took another curve that caught me off guard also. A great read I would certainly recommend. J P Willson

If you love suspenseful crime thrillers, then come move in with the family in As the Clock Struck Ten! Joshua Grant

Old and young; male and female; good and bad; Gill Mather takes us into the minds - and hearts - of each of the protagonists. Falling in love, plotting revenge or losing one's grasp on sanity, we're there, sharing the thoughts and emotions… I was again swept along through the twists and turns of this saga, once more rooting for my favourite player. They can't all be winners. Can they? You'll have to read the book to find out. Dan Hicks
