The Beautiful Blue

HOW many words does it take to end a life? On a rainswept hallowe'en night two decades ago, it was only five: 'She's there with him now.' These few syllables sealed the fate of Amy Langford, in one cruel moment turning a student navigating love and life into a corpse on a treacherous Cornish road. But who is to blame? Her cheating boyfriend Olly? Her best friend Chloe? Or Kathryn, the girl he destroyed? The answer is in the wind until they all return, years later, pulled inextricably back to Cornwall in search of answers. Some remain their old selves, despite the horrors of that night, but one wears a cloak, a new persona crafted like a butterfly from the chrysalis of their past. Their old teacher, Guy Lovell, and his wife Heather may hold the answer. But just as their lives all begin to converge and they find their voices, Guy loses his, forever. Will the truth make the survivors swim, or drown? They can only find the answers in The Beautiful Blue.
