{"product_id":"9781472117052","title":"Gently with Passion","description":"\u003cp\u003eWillows, waterlilies, gliding sailboats . . . the Norfolk Broads in  summer seem the perfect place for novelist Stella Rushton to recover her  equilibrium after being agonisingly and humiliatingly jilted. An  aquaintance, the elegant, musical-comedy writer Simon, who has a house  full of visiting theatre folk, lends Stella his riverside cottage and a  boat; but it is Keith, one of Simon's house-guests, who best restores  Stella's shattered pride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeith, young, vulnerable and awkward,  falls instantly in love with Stella, watching her with tongue-tied  yearnings as their boat skims up the sunlit Broad, and swimming alone  down the dark waters to catch a glimpse of her at midnight. Stella  remains cool and amused, but Keith's uncontrollable passion is a balm to  her wounded heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer detachment, however, is brought to an  appaling end when a tragedy occurs on the Broad. It is compounded by the  realisation soon afterwards that what happened was not a accident.\u003cbr\u003eAs  Stella, horrified, comes reluctantly to suspect the one person she  likes, she has no one to turn to for advice but the big, quiet, pipe  smoking man who sits fishing on a houseboat moored nearby. Chief  Superintendent George Gently, though on holiday and incognito, finds  once again that crime seeks him out . . .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135681806576,"sku":"9781472117052","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472117052_p0.jpg?v=1763597603","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472117052","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
