Publisher Description
“Hooked from the start . . . absolutely brilliant. Wish I could rate it higher . . . Just wow!” —Amazon reviewer, five stars
Her new house has a mysterious past—and her new life in the English countryside is about to take a dark turn . . .
When Ellie and Ash move into a beautiful old house in rural Norfolk, England, they believe they’ve found their perfect home. Intrigued by the people next door, Ellie befriends shy but sweet Benjamin, and as time goes by, becomes ever more curious about his elusive sister, Virginia.
But when she discovers that her new home has a darker past and that Ash has been keeping secrets, what she thought was a perfect life in the countryside begins to unravel. Is her best friend to be trusted, are the new neighbours all that they really seem, and why is her new puppy so obsessed with the cellar? Most worrying of all is the mystery of what happened to the former occupants of the house.
When Ash goes away on business and strange things begin to happen, Ellie’s paranoia goes into overdrive. But are these all coincidences—or is she really in danger?
Customer Reviews
Slow start, and suddenly…..
The story started like a roller coaster climbing laboriously up, up, up the first rise. Then, a heart-pounding change of direction, into the hair-raising plummet to the end. Quite the ride, and a great twist at the end!
