'Can you come round?' Dad says tremulously.
'Of course. Are you OK? Is it Mum?'
'No!' He almost shouts it. 'Just come quickly. The garden...the...body... we need you, Penny.'
For women of Penny's generation, being on hand for elderly parents is just part of life. But for Penny, things have become a little more serious...
When she receives a frantic phone call from her parents one night, with express instructions NOT to call the police, Penny rushes over at once. But they haven't had a fall. They haven't forgotten their computer passwords. They've killed someone. And his body is lying in the garden, right next to the rose bushes.
Everyone is capable of murder. They just need to meet the right person.
From the bestselling author of Friend Request (2017).
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Penny Whitlock is spinning a lot of plates: she’s in her 50s, recently divorced, supporting a 19-year-old son and helping her elderly parents in every way imaginable. All that might be manageable, but UK author Laura Marshall has one more stress in store for her narrator: a body in the garden. Featuring short chapters, plenty of momentum and a spiralling situation that combines everyday pressures with unusual ones, A Good Place to Hide a Body manages to be both domestic drama and ‘proper’ thriller. Because Penny is such a relatable character, you’ll feel every inch of her pain as events slip further and further out of control.
