Shadow at the Door by Jo Dixon is well written and well worth the read.
As part of the divorce agreement our heroin gets the house (complete with mortgage which has been bought by her ex husband. A clause in the contract states that if the mortgage repayments are not paid on time, the ex husband can foreclose and sell the property; what could possibly go wrong?
A series of seemingly unconnected events mean that finances are suddenly at critical levels.

Kept me guessing till the end.
An excellent book for those chilly evenings, or those sunny relaxing afternoons.… (altro)
