Have you ever taken a coach trip through Britain and wondered about the strangers sitting beside you? For Suzanna Watson, a cosy-crime novelist from the small County Durham town of Chester-le-Street, this is her first coach trip into the Kent countryside. She expects historic places, good company—and perhaps a little inspiration for her next novel. Instead, she finds herself intrigued by three fellow travellers. Grace and Ruth are identical twins in their fifties, and Alex, a handsome, silver-haired man. As the coach leaves, the three insist they are strangers to one another. Suzanna doesn’t believe them – she knows when something doesn’t quite add up. And as the five-day trip unfolds, every conversation, every glance and every unexplained silence makes her more certain that the trio are hiding something. But What? And, why does Alex not want to answer questions? The journey takes them from the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral, to Suzanna’s personal highlight: Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn. However, the mystery becomes darker, and no one—not Grace, not Ruth, not Alex, and certainly not Suzanna—knows exactly what happened there years ago. Or do they?
