Description
Rough Cider by Peter Lovesey is a gripping standalone novel that explores the darker side of human nature. Set against the backdrop of World War II, the story follows a complex web of relationships and events that lead to two shocking murders. In rural England, American soldiers have formed friendships with local girls, but tensions simmer beneath the surface. Years later, a university lecturer is approached by an American girl seeking answers about her father, a GI who was hanged for murder in Somerset. As Theo revisits the farm where he was evacuated as a boy, long-forgotten jealousies and resentments resurface, threatening to unleash further violence. This tense and suspenseful thriller weaves together threads of family, loyalty, and betrayal, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
