The new heart-pounding novel from Sunday Times best-selling author Claire Douglas.

It was the house of their dreams. Until the bodies were found....

Bodies found under patio.

When pregnant Saffron Cutler moves into 9 Skelton Place with boyfriend Tom and sets about renovations, the last thing she expects is builders uncovering a body - two bodies, in fact.

Police investigate.

Forensics indicate the bodies have been buried at least 30 years. Nothing Saffy need worry herself over. Until the police launch a murder investigation and ask to speak to the cottage's former owner - her grandmother, Rose.

Owner questioned.

Rose is in a care home, and Alzheimer's means her memory is increasingly confused. She can't help the police, but it is clear she remembers something.

A killer at large?

As Rose's fragmented memories resurface and the police dig ever deeper, Saffy fears she and the cottage are being watched.

What happened 30 years ago?

Why did no one miss the victims?

What part did her grandmother play?

And is Saffy now in danger?

Too much drama

This book could have been just fine and interesting to listen. However, the plot has some serious flaws and inconsistencies that it was really difficult not to notice. The idea was good, the characters likable. Another thing I really struggled with is the male narrator! Nathalie Buscombe was great as always.

Great listen

Full of twists and turns. Keeps you guessing till the end. Can’t wait to listen to more of her books.
