Secrets of the Lighthouse
by Santa Montefiore
Ellen Trawton desperately needed peace and solitude away from her pushy mother and a fiancée she didn't love, so she arranged to go and stay with her, Aunt Peg in rugged countryside of Connemara. Ellen's mother had not spoken to her sister for thirty years and if, Ellen hadn't been rummaging through some old letters of her mother's she still would not have known her aunt existed. Ellen left a note, but she never said where she was going as she knew her mother would only try and bring her back, but Ellen just needed time to herself and she also hoped this would be the place she would make a start on her novel.
Shortly after arriving at Aunt Peg's home it's easy for, Ellen to see that her mother and her aunt are like chalk and cheese not only in looks, but personalities as well. Peg's house is over run with a variety animals. Any stray, lost or injured animals all seem to find a home with, Peg as she can't say no to anyone. Ellen soon gets to know a few of the animals who all have all been named such as, Bertie the pig, Harry the IIama, Waffle the dog and Charlie the donkey just to name a few.
Within the next few days, Ellen is introduced to the rest of Peg's family whom have also been hidden away from her. Ellen also finds out about the murder mystery of, Caitlin Macausland which took place at the Lighthouse in the area many years ago. Caitlin's husband still lives in the area with his two children, but he tries to keep to himself that is until he meets, Ellen.
This is the first book I've read by this author and I really enjoyed it. An easy and enjoyable read with strong characters that I found very entertaining. Well worth reading and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who enjoys a good story.
