A Thrilling Novel of Historical Suspense: ALONG CAME A SOLDIER by Brenda Davies

LIVONIA, Mich. - May 14, 2020 - PRLog -- Set against the backdrop of 1820 Cornwall, debut author Brenda Davies's historical suspense novel Along Came a Soldier takes us to St. Merryn, a village steeped in secrets and tragedy. When Charity Perrow meets a stranger in the woods, she finds she is instantly and unexpectedly attracted to him—until she discovers that the stranger is none other than Jethro Ennor, a man her family hates.

But a battle-scarred redcoat is lurking in Greenoak Woods. Struggling to keep his grip on sanity, he's come home to settle the score with those responsible for the heavy burden he's been carrying all these years. When a villager is murdered, the suspicion falls on Jethro. Now Charity must risk everything, including being disowned by her family, to prove his innocence and save him from the gallows.

"I've always been fascinated with Cornwall and it's very much a character for me in my writing," says author Brenda Davies. "I often visit there to immerse myself into its history. I've spent many an enjoyable day reading old newspaper articles about these ordinary people with extraordinary lives. Their stories, sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, come alive and speak to me. I like to think my writing gives them a voice."
