Come back for me by Heidi Perks

I really enjoyed this book. It begins on a stormy night in 1993. A family of 5, the Harveys, flee their home on the  small island of Evergreen (off the Dorset coast). The story then moves to the present day, when a body is found buried on the island at the bottom of the Harvey's garden. Stella Harvey is the youngest member of the family. She was 11 when her family fled and is now a counsellor in her thirties. Stella wants to find out why her family left the island she loved so suddenly, if their leaving is connected to the body, and why they moved there in the first place. Stella goes back to the island to try to reconnect with the people she hasn't seen in 25 years, against the wishes of her older sister Bonnie who hated the island and doesn't want to return.

The book is a page-turner. There are a lot of interesting and troubbled characters and I really wanted to find out what had happened. It's a crime novel but the investigation takes a back seat to the personal questions Stella is trying to answer.
