The Spelthorpe Trilogy. A delightful tale of history, romance and mystery set on the stunning Norfolk Coast in three books spanning two decades between 1932 and 1953 in a rural community called Spelthorpe. The community fiercely protects its own. In the first book we learn of a close-knit rural community with its leadership (The Spelthorpe Company) forged in the aftermath of the First World War. Local history and the lead characters' past lives are exposed by the estate's working dogs who are able to travel to other times and places. The characters work hard and play hard defending and enhancing their community, falling in love and developing a close private bond with the King and his family on the neighbouring Sandringham Estate in the build-up to the Second World War. Spelthorpe becomes a place where you will feel you should belong. You will want to go there and never leave.

The Spelthorpe Trilogy. A delightful tale of history, romance and mystery set on the stunning Norfolk Coast in three books spanning two decades between 1932 and 1953 in a rural community called Spelthorpe. The community fiercely protects its own.In this the third book, the war has ended but it is a world of extreme austerity, dashed hopes, a rising crime rate and an empire that is coming to an abrupt and painful end, whilst those returning to the Estate carry the ghosts and scars of war, separation and loss. Despite this the Spelthorpe Company remains robust and positive. It tackles crime in an unorthodox but effective way. Some members serve overseas in Palestine, Malta and Kenya whilst the strong private bond with members of the Royal family continues. Passions and romance are fulfilled. Spelthorpe remains a place where you will feel you should belong and a bastion against national difficulties. You will want to go there and never leave.
