What to expect

'Dark, insidious, unsettling, fabulous' Sharon Bolton

'Couldn't stop reading this compelling novel of scandals and affairs at the heart of seemingly idyllic seaside community. Great characters, setting, and a deliciously dark mystery at its heart.' Essie Fox

'You're immersed in an imaginary world that still feels very real - right down to the actual Dorset settings sprinkled throughout. The story twists and turns in a way that makes it both enjoyable to read and impossible to guess the ending' Dorset Magazine

'Staff Recommend HOMECOMING - this psychological thriller will keep you guessing till the end' Dorset Libraries

'Neatly plotted and totally engaging - it's another Ashdown triumph' Sussex Life

'Serious Big Little Lies vibes... Read in one sitting, it was so hard to put down... The author creates the perfect setting, full of tension and suspense, leaving the reader wanting more... Would highly recommend.' NetGalley Reviewer, 5 stars

Welcome to The Starlings... sun, sea and neighbours to die for.

Security, a sparkling sea view and the best kind of neighbours - The Starlings gated community has it all. Here, doors are left open, children run free, and at the heart of it all is the entrepreneurial Gold Family, who first dreamed up this aspirational vision of 'Dorset's Safest Community'. To the outside world the popular family appears glitteringly blessed... until an idyllic party takes a dark turn and one of their number is found slumped at the foot of the clocktower. Who knows what really happened? And what answers are harboured within the old building, the former Highcap Mother and Baby Home?'
