The Dangerous Promise
(2020)(The first book in the Tremayne Mystery series)
A Novella by Merryn Allingham
How dangerous can breaking your promise be?
London, June, 1953.
Its Coronation Day and, among the crowd gathered at Westminster Abbey, Nancy Nicholson meets the man of her dreams or so she believes. After years of loneliness, romance has finally arrived.
But its not long before the questions begin. Why is she never invited to her boyfriend's apartment? Why does she never meet his friends? Has he tried to set her parents against her? Is he a lover or an enemy?
Amid growing doubts, Nancy walks away - into a nightmare of suspense. Stalked day and night, nowhere is safe. Fear looms at her from every corner. Terror follows her home. There is no-one she can trust. No-one to help.
How dangerous can breaking your promise be? Nancy is about to find out.
See what reviewers have to say about the prequel to this bestselling mystery suspense series:
The story is a roller-coaster of a read, with plenty of tension and suspense.
Merryn's characters are real and she always sets the scene beautifully: in this case Britain in the early 1950s.
The social constraints of the 1950s are keenly observed and add much to this well-written story.
As Philips menacing behaviour worsens, you hope Nancy will find the strength to face up to the reality of her situation. But in doing so, is she leaping from one disastrous situation into another?
A superb prequel to Venetian Vendetta.
