Philip Samson has died and in his will, has left Lizzie a gift of £15,000. But there are conditions attached to this unexpected legacy that will soon force Lizzie to confront terrifying secrets from her past life . . .

Ratings and reviews

Confusion reigns.

I didn't really like the story from the beginning but thought I'd persevere. I wish I hadn't. The main character was a poor choice, very annoying and the whole story line was very weak.

I give 10/10 okay
