In a grand old mansion in the middle of the Sussex countryside, seven people have seen more than they should... The new chilling thriller from Lesley Thomson.
In a small community
James Ritchie was looking forward to spending the day with his son, though he was a little late picking him up from his ex-wife, Anna.
In the middle of nowhere
Later that afternoon, they are found dead, the victims of a double stabbing. Anna will never see her family again.
You need to keep your secrets close...
As DI Toni Kemp unravels the case, she is brought to a grand country mansion, long ago converted into flats. In this quiet, peaceful place, seven long-term residents have seen more than they should.
