The Cuckoo's Child

When Laura Harcourt accepts a temporary position in the north of England she does not dream that it will change her life forever. Wainthorpe is a small town set amongst a dense concentration of woollen mills where the thriving Cross Ings mill is one of the most prosperous. Its respected owner is Ainsley Beaumont whose family wealth derives from centuries in the woollen trade. However when Laura arrives she finds that behind the façade is a family still torn apart by the memory of a disastrous fire. When a body is found floating in the mill dam Laura finds herself drawn deeper into the Beaumonts’ lives and discovers that there are secrets which more than one person is determined to keep.
