Everyone has heard the rumours. But who knows the real story of Coram House?
True crime writer Alex Kelley is struggling after her last book tanked her career. Her reputation in tatters, she accepts a commission to ghost-write a book about Coram House, a former orphanage by a lake in Vermont that is now being turned into luxury condos. Could this be the fresh start she needs?
Years before, it was revealed that children at the orphanage were being abused; the church settled the case, but rumours persist about one of the other allegations made, that a small boy was deliberately drowned in the lake by someone in charge. Those in charge insist there was no such murder, but when Alex makes a shocking discovery only days after her arrival, she realises that what began in the past is not going to stay there...
An outstanding new atmospheric and character-rich mystery debut, perfect for fans of Tana French, Erin Kelly, and Gillian Flynn.
Atmospheric and chilling — Flynn Berry
