About this eBook

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR IS BACK!

Her dream home will become her worst nightmare...

A strange encounter
Neve comes across a troubled woman called Isabelle on Waterloo Bridge late one night. Isabelle forces a parcel into Neve’s hands and jumps to her death in the icy Thames below.

An unexpected gift
Two weeks later, as Neve’s wreck of a life in London collapses, an unexpected lifeline falls into her lap – a charming cottage in Cornwall left to her by Isabelle, the woman on the bridge. The solution to all her problems.

A twisted secret
But when Neve arrives, alone in the dark woods late one night, she finds a sinister-looking bungalow with bars across its windows. And her dream home quickly becomes her worst nightmare – a house hiding a twisted secret that will change her life forever...

A gripping and twisty read, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and BA Paris.

‘Claustrophobic and tense’ Alex Lake

Ratings and reviews

Main character is unlikable. It's a good story and the twist is good, but it takes too long to get there with too little happening to build suspense. At times I enjoyed it, but can't give it any more than 3 stars.

I couldn't connect with the main character, some good twists but it all happened at the end so I kind of felt impatience waiting for the main characters 'disturbances' to be explained.

Tried out a new author and I enjoyed the book. I was actually surprised with the storyline and plot and one of the few times where I didn't figure it out until I was supposed to.
