It was the house of her dreams. Until the first body was found. A new emotionally dark and unsettling thriller from the Sunday Times bestseller.

An inherited cottage. A body buried in the garden. And a secret spanning three generations.

Who is she? During Rose's more lucid moments, she reveals snippets of information that Saffy pieces together. And then another body is discovered. As she delves into Rose's past, Saffy uncovers dark secrets, calling into question everything she thought she knew about her family.
