An absorbing, page-turning read for all lovers of suspense and mystery

Who is 'Greta'? What is she hiding? What, for that matter, is it that Francis is less than open about? As for Oliver, how is he to overcome his immediate problems, let alone accommodate the blast from the past that rushes in and engulfs him?

In the summer of 2019, 'Greta' has fetched up in South Yorkshire on land owned by Francis. They both have secrets, more entrenched and harder to shake off for one of them than the other. Nearly two hundred miles to the south in Ipswich, Oliver continues to labour as a criminal solicitor, unaware of the consequences of earlier events in his life and, as we all are, of what is yet to come.

The course of events may be predetermined, but their consequences are not predictable by any of us. For 'Greta' and Oliver, the past rakes up some unexpected issues, impossible to bury entirely or, in some respects, at all. Indeed, for both 'Greta' and Oliver the present, too, introduces some tough challenges and setbacks.

The twists in the plot will keep you guessing right to the end.

Class of '97 is the ideal book club novel, providing food for endless questions about the characters' circumstances, difficulties and life-changing events.

"…a very enjoyable read…you have created a very complex character, and…a fascinating backstory… The ending is clever and unexpected." Alison Hopkins
