Imagine moving into a new home and the builders discover 2 dead bodies in your garden 👀

That's what happened to our main character Saffy in this book!

A brilliant domestic thriller that kept me guessing!!

My second Claire Douglas book, really enjoyed this one!

It had a dual timeline, 40 years ago and present day.

It was interestingly written how Rose's dementia made you unsure whether to believe what she was saying about the bodies was truth, or if she was forgetting things 

I didn't expect half the twists that were in this!!

The way the 2 different plot lines interlinked was really well done 

Spoilers below!





Rose wasn't actually related to Lorna and Saffy, Daphne was 

Rose was killed by Daphne accidentally when Saffy was still a child

Theo's dad, Victor, is Lorna's dad - her mum went to Victors clinic for a fertility procedure and was unconsensually pregnated
