Gabrielle Adams has it all - brains, beauty, a handsome fiancé, and a dream job in publishing.
Until, one day, everything changes.
The 'Underground Killer' takes his victims when they least expect it: standing on the edge of a busy Tube platform, as they wait for a train to arrive through the murky underground tunnels of London.
Gabrielle soon learns that being a survivor is harder than being a victim, and she struggles to return to her old life. Desperate to break free from endless nightmares, she snatches up an opportunity to run a tiny bookshop in a picturesque cove in rural Cornwall.
She thinks she's found the perfect escape, but has she swapped one nightmare for another..?

I really enjoyed The Cove. It felt like a much longer book. I envied Gabi and her job running a bookshop in the middle of nowhere. I'm so jealous. The author does a brilliant job of bringing the rural community to life. I felt like I was there. There are elements of a cosy mystery in the book but some dark undercurrents around Gabi's attack in London and the dark secret in her new home she unwittingly stumbles across. This is well worth a read.
