About this ebook

Twenty years have passed since that day on the jetty, but it is only now that Elise has found the strength to go back and face the events of her past. She begins to unravel all that has been tying her up, picking through that day, piece by piece, from beginning to end. Over and over again. But sometimes what you uncover is not what you were searching for, and Elise finds herself face-to-face with a truth she had not expected. Closed for Winter is a gripping novel that will haunt you to the very end, and a powerful, positive story about the pain of letting go.

    Beautifully written with a slow paced writing style. The actor's first book and my first Georgia Blain. I would have given it four stars had we been told the fate of Frances - I hate being left in limbo! Closed for Winter is a little bit coming of age, a little bit mystery and a little bit whodunit, however the who, is never revealed.
