The first book in the dramatic new saga from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author
Holding the letter in trembling hands, Daisy’s future crumbled before her – the words engraved on her heart forever.
The village of Little Creek, the long winter of 1867
The first flakes of snow are falling when Daisy Marshall, secretly engaged to her master’s son, finds herself jilted at the altar.
Heartbroken, Daisy flees to the small village of Little Creek, nestled on the coast of Essex. There she is warmly welcomed – but the village is poverty-stricken, suffering under a cruel Lord of the manor. And when cholera hits, the villagers are truly in dire straits.
Determined to help, Daisy makes new friends in earnest doctor Nicholas and dashing smuggler Jay – but also dangerous new enemies, who threaten to destroy everything she’s built.
Can Daisy save the village and find happiness in time for Christmas?
Dilly Court’s book ‘The Snow Angel’ was a No.1 Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2024-10-14.

Not finished but very much enjoying
I bought the last book of the village secrets trilogy for Christmas and then realised it was a trilogy, so went out and bought the other two books as something of an impulse purchase. So far I am not regretting it one bit. I think the story so far (I am about 10 chapters in) is fast paced, interesting and fairly easy to follow. Already I am warming to characters and disliking characters and generally being whisked away to a different world every time I open the book. Because I’m not finished I haven’t given it 5 stars, but if the book continues like this I may increase my rating. Thanks Dilly Court!!

A beautiful read
London 1867 Daisy Marshall governess in the Carrington house is looking forward to her engagement announcement to Julian Carrington on Christmas eve but after receiving a letter from him saying he can’t go through with it as he will be cut off without a penny. She is deviated especially as she has been dismissed and go back to live with her Aunt and uncle. Selling up the business and moving out to a village in essex daisy joins them in creek cottage. Nick Neville a doctor and friend to her brother lives in creek hall and finds he has to sell up and work is in London. Nobody’s getting off to a good start, Esmond Tattersall the squire is freeholder of the village and wants as much money as he can from all the tenants he’s a mean man that takes a shine to daisy but she turns him down. I loved this book so enchanting, feel good, Christmas book. Full of sorrow laughter and humour. People coming together in hard times. emotional story what’s not to love about this book. I look forward to more to follow

I don’t understand why this author comes so highly recommended. The villains are one dimensional and cartoonish. I couldn’t get myself to care enough about the heroine of the story. I ploughed on hoping somehow it would get better. I thought it would when she went back to London to become a nurse and for a while I was beginning to enjoy the book but then it all fell apart on me again. I guess other people love her books but I’m not one of them.
