'I thoroughly enjoyed this intriguing mystery set in a beautiful location with deliciously menacing undercurrents.' Frances Evesham
It was meant to be a safe place to start again...
In need of an escape from her failing marriage, Nia agrees to house-sit her aunt’s cottage on the Isle of Wight. She feels sure the cosy close in a quaint harbour town will be a safe place to hide and figure out what to do next.
But things are not all as they seem in the close, and the neighbours who welcome her with open arms, are keeping secrets. When Nia finds the body of one of her new friends lying on the beach, she feels sickeningly sure that the killer is dangerously near to home.
Who killed her friend and why did she have to die? And if Nia discovers the answers she’s looking for, is she next on their hit list? Good neighbours may become good friends, but they can also make deadly enemies…
Mary Grand's intricate psychological mysteries are perfect for fans of Claire Douglas, Lucy Foley and Agatha Christie.

Customer Reviews
*Slow paced Drama*
This was not what I was expecting, so glad I listened to the audiobook otherwise I may have given up.
Nia needs to have a break from her life and decides to house-sit for her aunt on the Isle of Wight. On arrival she feels that this close knit neighbourhood will make a refreshing change and wants to fit in. The neighbours are very welcoming and she quickly forms a bond with one person in particular.
That all changes when that person ends up dead and she was the last person to see that person alive.
Nia then turns into an amateur sleuth who comes across as a busy body who continually jumps to the wrong conclusions, all the while her own life and marriage is in pieces. Nia is so quick to judge others, then her own misgivings come back to haunt her in the shape of a viral video.
The police were so low key in this drama I liken it to a ‘murder she wrote’ episode where Jessica Fletcher solves the crimes. In this case Nia eventually works it out.
A bit slow for me, the pace gently rolls along, but a reasonable ending.
Can’t stick at it!
Can’t finish it. I keep trying but it’s just so mundane. It could be any of them who done it and I just don’t seem to care who it was or why. Characters are boring, the writing is boring. Not for me
I’m afraid
Devoid of genuine emotion
Plot, characters, and dialogue lack any semblance of genuine human emotion. It is as if a robot has written it.
