The Windy Hill

A history best forgotten…

When Rachel French finds an unpublished cookery manuscript written by her great-aunt, she sets out to do some research into its background. 

She soon finds herself delving deep into the past of her ancestors, whilst being inspired to start a cookery business based on the recipes. 

Along the way she meets two intriguing and helpful men, who both seem willing to go out their way to assist Rachel on her family research. 

Whilst each man warns her off the other however, she soon wonders whether they have ulterior motives and she is unsure who she can trust...

Her suspicions are only increased when an arson attack destroys her cottage, seeming like an obvious attempt at destroying the manuscript.

Battling with reasons as to why someone would do this, Rachel delves further into the past to discover hidden secrets of her Great Aunt’s life. 

Attempting to make sense of fragmented pieces of evidence from the War, Rachel finds herself making little headway. 

As things start to come together about what went on in her Great Aunt’s life whilst she was a cook at Crandene Castle in Kent, secrets are unearthed that perhaps should have been left buried.
