The House of Hidden Letters by Izzy Broom

A gentle, engaging read with just the right blend of mystery and romance, it’s a lovely dual‑timeline story and a great introduction to Izzy Broom’s work. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for more.

Skye needs a fresh start, and when she spots a one‑euro lottery for a derelict cottage on a remote Greek island, it feels like the perfect escape. Winning it brings not just a crumbling home to restore but a whole new circle of friends and a community she didn’t know she needed. When she uncovers a bundle of wartime letters hidden in the cottage — and the discovery of long‑buried skeletons shakes the island — Skye is drawn into uncovering the truth, piecing together a story that’s been hidden for decades.

Overall, it’s an engaging, atmospheric read with a lovely mix of mystery, history and new beginnings. The setting is gorgeous, the story unfolds beautifully, and it’s easy to get swept up in Skye’s journey. A really enjoyable escape.
