The Harvest of Betrayal

By Patricia Halliday

When Diana Lewis and her husband, Simon, go to view a small chateau on an estate in France, Diana feels she has come home. The renovated chateau is charming and the other residents are pleasant and friendly.
The chateau, however, has a tragic WWII history and the story of the chateau's wartime owner, Philippe de Lusignac, touches Diana's heart. After buying the chateau, she discovers evidence of a long-hidden secret which leads her to the truth of those dreadful events - a murder and a murderer.
Gradually, Diana learns of the loves, betrayals, lies and secrets that are interwoven among the residents of the chateau's gated community, and their links to the estate's terrible history. Past and present, changing the future - even her own, when Simon wants to drag everything into the daylight. What is left, when all of the truths come out?
