A DREADFUL COINCIDENCE

By JACK DIGBY

Book Overview

Nestled in the peaceful Welsh village of Llangurig, life appears idyllic for Deryn and Ed Baker. In their beautifully restored barn, surrounded by rolling hills and the gentle River Wye, they've created a perfect haven for their two children. But beneath this tranquil surface, the village harbours old secrets and quiet tensions that threaten to disrupt the calm. The unexpected death of beloved shopkeeper Mrs Miracle sends shockwaves through the community, and whispers of past grudges and buried scandals begin to circulate. As suspicions grow, attention turns to the local care home, and unease spreads to include the visiting gypsy families. In the midst of the turmoil, the arrival of a new nanny, Hannah, seems to offer a welcome reprieve for the Baker household. Yet Hannah's past harbours its own shadows, which may soon entangle with the growing unease in Llangurig. As the village wrestles with growing distrust and fractured loyalties, a shocking act of violence forces bitter truths into the open, leaving the once-close-knit community forever altered. With Ed frequently away at work, Deryn battles to keep her young family safe after the horrors they have encountered. She joins in the frantic search for the attacker whilst trying to bring a sense of normality back into everyone's lives. In A Dreadful Coincidence by Jack Digby, the serene beauty of the Welsh countryside serves as the backdrop for a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and resilience. As hidden truths come to light, the story reveals how secrets can both bind and destroy, leaving no one untouched.
