What to expect
When a local teenager dies in a tragic drowning accident, the community thinks Brigid might be able to help comfort the family. But when she does so, something doesn't add up. And it's no easier at home: after a bereavement in the family, Brigid has reluctantly taken in her niece to give her a break before she starts college. Brigid's ever-patient husband Carlo tells her they must go easy on Gemma-Kate, the grieving youngster. Which is fine, until she starts taking an unhealthy interest in dissecting the local wildlife.
For Brigid, death still seems to be wherever she turns. But as she herself starts to feel unwell, it's her own mortality that is the most troubling. And as she tries to get to the bottom of a series of allegedly accidental deaths and increasingly gruesome occurrences at home, she slowly realises that maybe this time, she's let the darkness inside the only place she ever felt safe. Sometimes, death is closer than you think.

Critics Review
-
A highly engaging blend of psychological thriller and Miss Marple-like whodunit… Her [Masterman’s] strength’s are polished prose and her beguiling heroine, an usually complicated sleuth married to a philosopher.
SUNDAY TIMES -
Ms. Masterman once again shows herself to be an expert manipulator of readers’ expectations.
NEW YORK TIMES -
Resourceful, direct, and determined – especially in the face of pure, murderous evil – in her second outing, Brigid Quinn remains a fun force to be reckoned with.
BOSTON GLOBE -
Addictive, intriguing, terrifying: the stunning new thriller starring Brigid Quinn.
TANGLED WEB -
“With telling observations on the human condition, the nature of love and the corruption of greed, this is simply superb.”
PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH
