Childhood sweethearts Lizbeth and William are preparing for their forthcoming marriage when a storm hits Misty Cove. Lizbeth's father is a ship's captain, and his boat is out at sea that night. When Lizbeth realises that the lighthouse is not lit, she realises that the ship is in danger. Tragically, Lizbeth's father is killed when the ship founders; but from sorrow there comes good news: Lizbeth is now a wealthy woman, and the ship, Misty Pride II, has been commissioned for her groom-to-be, William.
The couple begin to rebuild their lives, forced by social convention to postpone their marriage until after a period of mourning. The tragedy has struck deep into the town of Misty Cove, and Lizbeth wants to uncover who was responsible for the death of her father. As the days progress, she uncovers hidden secrets and encounters both betrayal and support from unexpected places.
This is the first of a trilogy set in Ms Leigh's wonderful imaginary town of Misty Cove. Readers of 'Stormy View' will recognise the landscape, but the story takes place over a century before the events of that book. Told in the first person from the perspectives of Lizbeth and William, 'Widow's Walk' plunges us straight into the hearts and minds of the characters. The plot unfolds over a decade in the young couple's life together, and there is intrigue and suspense a-plenty as well as time for tears and laughter. Lizbeth is a strong, independent woman and readers will really engage with her. A well-recommended read.
