If you love:
Creepy mysteries, sinister nuns, missing children, true crime, ghost writer turned detective, remote town vibes, is everyone a suspect, cover ups, morally grey, debut novels, then this is the read for you.
This slow burn mystery will suck you in. True crime writer, Alex, accepts a commission to ghost write a story about an old orphanage being redeveloped as luxury condos, and a cover up of abuse by the church. Alex becomes obsessed with a young boy called Tommy who some children said was deliberately drowned in the lake near the orphanage, but the stories are confusing and no records exist of Tommy. Should Alex just write the facts she's been presented with or start her own investigation? Does anyone care about Tommy?
