Tainted Tree

Tainted Tree

When Addie Russell arrives in the UK from Boston, a failed relationship behind her, she's eager to embark on something new. She's inherited a house in Surrey and hopes to find out about her English family. Addie was adopted at birth, when her mother died, and she knows very little about her mother, who was travelling around the US. Apart from that, there are the grandparents, who wanted nothing to do with her, and the father, about whom she knows nothing at all. Soon, Addie will discover the family secrets, and will also meet more than one man. But will she find true love - and will the family be all that she hoped for?

... an engaging narrative voice ... I was immediately drawn into the story.
Donna Condon, editor, Piatkus Books

The atmosphere is skilfully built, humming with suspense ... evocative images and well-chosen vocabulary ... a page-turner.
Adrienne Dines, author

... likeable people ... excellent family dialogue, which races along most satisfyingly.
Historical Novel Association Review

Set in Guildford and the West Country in 1991, Addie's research takes her back through three generations to the First World War. A bit of history, mystery and romance in one package.

Lynne, Ilford, Essex:
We have just returned from holiday where I read your book. I must say that I really enjoyed it, and in parts I could not put it down.

Barbara, Haslemere, Surrey:
I find Tainted Tree very interesting and readable. The way you developed the plot is very good, the reader can't put it down. I nearly missed my stop on the train last Monday. I have read your other two books , but find this one the best. You were absolutely right to celebrate the launch in style - the book deserves it.

Susan, Pirbright, Surrey:
Great read - I really enjoyed it - genuinely interesting, compulsive reading and so relevant to what is happening today. Well done - look forward to the next one.

Joyce, Clacton-on-Sea, Essex:
Just a short note to let you know how much I enjoyed Tainted Tree - in fact I couldnâ€™t put it down - it was a really interesting saga, beautifully written (a real â€˜tear-jerkerâ€™ at times!) and I loved the characters, especially Addie. Thank you for a â€˜good readâ€™, Jackie.

Elizabeth, Illinois, USA:
I finished Tainted Tree and LOVED IT! I want you to know how much I enjoyed the book - I picked it up and kept reading through, stopping only for meals and the occasional bathroom break. I wanted to read while eating lunch, too, but my hubby took offence, so I set it down long enough to gobble up my salad.
