The Shade of the Mango Tree

Life in the peaceful countryside of Bohol should have returned to normal, but unanswered questions continue to cast long shadows over Peter and Alma's family. As forgotten events begin to resurface, each new discovery reveals that the past is far more complicated, and far more dangerous, than anyone imagined. Set against the vibrant backdrop of the Philippines, *The Shade of the Mango Tree* is a compelling blend of mystery, family drama, and quiet suspense. Ancient loyalties, hidden truths, and unexpected revelations draw the characters ever deeper into a story where every answer uncovers another secret. Rich in atmosphere and authentic local colour, Anthony Stovold's second Mango Tree novel explores the ties that bind families together, the weight of history, and the enduring power of hope in the face of uncertainty. For readers who enjoy intelligent mysteries with memorable characters and an evocative sense of place, *The Shade of the Mango Tree* offers a captivating journey into the heart of the Philippines, where not every secret is meant to remain hidden.
