Shortlisted for the Holyer An Gof awards 2022, semi-finalist in the Book Blogger Novel of the Year Awards 2022 The Blue Hour – two love affairs and two summers, 75 years apart …the literary equivalent of a strong gin and tonic on a warm summer’s evening: refreshing, invigorating and inspiring…a stunningly good debut. Beautifully written, this honest, emotional and moving novel had me hooked from the opening pages. I could not stop reading until I had finished, and when I had finished, I missed the characters. - Novelist Louise Douglas Damaged by a toxic relationship, Ava Westmorland...

When a mysterious letter arrives at Dr. Craig Groseman’s doorstep, it leads him to Fairhaven, a pristine retirement facility hiding a lethal secret. Residents are dying suddenly, their medical records suspiciously altered, their symptoms too uniform to ignore. As Craig and his wife Becky dig into the layers of falsified trials, manipulated patient charts, and buried evidence, they find themselves racing to expose the truth before more lives are lost. But the deeper they go, the more dangerous it becomes—because someone is watching. And they’ll do anything to keep the epidemic silent.
