The Bentley Regatta

The town of Bentley sits on the banks of the River Thames and like its near sister town has an annual rowing regatta. But Bentley is a hive of social and financial rivalry, dominated by four families.

This is a tale of the town, its inhabitants and the annual regatta, plus the intrigue, blackmail and infidelities that abound.

Holly is the central character and is a free spirit who is fortunate to be able to enjoy life in privileged circles. She is an ex-competitive rower and in a failing marriage to someone she really doesn’t know.

A series of unexplained events that took place before and during the annual regatta, creates suspicion and bad feeling amongst the key families. But when a body is found in the river, the town is suddenly thrown into turmoil as the police gather closer links to Hollys and other  families and discover so many  hidden secrets.
