Bridge to Eternity
Audrey, recently widowed, is not saying why she left her comfortable home in the south of England to move into an old school boarding house on the edge of a moor. Tina, a young estate agent, is concerned for Audrey’s safety as she believes the folklore about a schoolboy who never went home. Property developers, annoyed at losing a site ripe for demolition, make plans to encourage Audrey to sell. Malcolm, a charming widower, brings a welcome light into Audrey’s life until it shines into a very dark corner…
My review
This is quite a chilling story which will grip you from the very beginning. It centres on the old schoolhouse that our heroine Audrey has bought. But why exactly? And why are several other people particularly interested in the property? The reasons are complex and clever, and you’ll enjoy discovering them.
The action takes place in the mid-1960s and the present day, and we jump between the two time periods. That keeps the interest going and it’s satisfying to gradually see how events more than half a century apart tie together.
The pace is brisk and there’s plenty of excitement. The ominous Russian brothers are very well portrayed, and we meet plenty of other fascinating characters. The house provides an atmospheric, definitely brooding setting for this highly intriguing tale.

Author bio
“I started my working life in the theatre and was very lucky to find myself on the West End stage in a hit play at the age of 16. My career and life nearly ended there as I was knocked down by a car on the way home one Saturday night. I recovered and went on to be quite a successful photographic model. Later, when that part of my career did die, I turned to writing and made quite a good living writing screenplays, making films, and writing advertising copy for a marketing company. A few years ago I entered a short-story competition and fell in love with prose and knew I had to tell my own story within a fictional framework. At the moment I am hiding behind a nom de plume.”
