Shifting Sands
By Anthea Fraser
Shifting Sands is a gripping psychological thriller and a sensitive exploration of widowhood.
Anna’s family hope that a safari holiday in South Africa will help her recover from her beloved husband’s death and come to terms with widowhood. No-one is more surprised than Anna herself when she feels a strong attraction to a fellow member of the group, Lewis Masters. And despite her initial resistance, she’s soon drawn into a new relationship.
Back home, however, Anna is deeply perturbed when she learns that a young woman employed by Lewis has died in mysterious circumstances. Could he be involved somehow? Meanwhile, Anna’s journalist son Jonathan – who has domestic worries of his own – is being repeatedly contacted by a young woman asking for his help. To his frustration, she’s too frightened to say what is worrying her.
Shifting Sands is a fascinating blend of romance and suspense. It is bound to appeal to Anthea Fraser’s many loyal readers and win her many more.
Praise for Shifting Sands:
’A charming, very readable novel. The plot moves at a leisurely pace and much of the action is furthered through conversation, and like most of Fraser’s recent novels it’s really more about a novel about relationships than a mystery. Fraser’s prose is smooth as always and the characters are sympathetic; this is a small gem of a novel, really.’ – Goodreads review
