Should you ask me - Marianne Morgan Kavanagh

'I've come about the bodies. I know who they are.'

Just
before D-Day in 1944, on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, an elderly woman
walks into a police station. She has information, she says, about human
remains recently discovered nearby.

The bodies could have
stayed buried for ever - like the pain and passion that put them there.
But Mary Holmes is finally ready to tell the truth.

The young
constable sent to take her statement is still suffering from the
injuries that ended his army career. As he tries to make sense of her
tale, William finds himself increasingly distracted. Mary's confession
forces his own violent memories to the surface - betrayals and regrets
as badly healed as his war wounds.

Over six days, as pressure builds for the final push in Europe, two lives reveal their secrets. Should You Ask Me is a captivating story about people at their worst and best: raw, rich, and utterly compelling.
