About this ebook

'This will haunt you. Riveting!' Shari Lapena, author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR

'The Shape of Night is as compulsive as it gets.' Lesley Kara, author of THE RUMOUR


If the walls could talk . . . they'd tell her to leave. Now.

When Ava arrives at Brodie’s Watch, she thinks she has found the perfect place to hide from her past. Something terrible happened, something she is deeply ashamed of, and all she wants is to forget.

But the old house on the hill both welcomes and repels her and Ava quickly begins to suspect she is not alone. Either that or she is losing her mind.

The house is full of secrets, but is the creeping sense of danger coming from within its walls, or from somewhere else entirely?

Ratings and reviews

Something completely different from her usual style and brilliant stories. More of 50 shades of grey, with a murder mystery in the background.

Keeps you guessing right to the end, started reading couldn't put it down.

Liked it but didn't love it. Not her usual intellectual twist & turn pace. A Halloween read.
