THE NEW HEART-POUNDING NOVEL FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR, CLAIRE DOUGLAS
It was the house of their dreams. Until the bodies were found . . .
BODIES FOUND UNDER PATIO
When pregnant Saffron Cutler moves into 9 Skelton Place with boyfriend Tom and sets about renovations the last thing she expects is builders uncovering a body - two bodies, in fact.
POLICE INVESTIGATE
Forensics indicate the bodies have been buried at least thirty years. Nothing Saffy need worry herself over. Until the police launch a murder investigation and ask to speak to the cottage's former owner - her grandmother, Rose.
OWNER QUESTIONED
Rose is in a care home and Alzheimer's means her memory is increasingly confused. She can't help the police but it is clear she remembers something.
A KILLER AT LARGE?
As Rose's fragmented memories resurface, and the police dig ever deeper, Saffy fears she and the cottage are being watched.
What happened thirty years ago?
Why did no one miss the victims?
What part did her grandmother play?
And is Saffy now in danger?

Critics Review
Spine-chilling . . . Douglas writes sensitively about dementia in this heartbreaking novel about how far a desperate woman will go to survive
This book has everything I love: murder, a taut and fiendishly clever plot and nail-biting tension
A darkly absorbing mystery
Combines a tight, gripping plot and truly shocking twist, with beautiful writing and emotion. A thriller with a heart. One of the best I have read in a long time
Secrets, skeletons, mothers and daughters – and some absolutely corking twists! A cracking thriller, I loved it
A well-plotted tale. All the characters are hiding things and you’re often waiting for the next secret to blow up. Intriguing. Twisty. Surprising. Touching. Enjoyed it
Devotees of domestic noir will love the multiple perspectives and shifts in time that Claire Douglas uses to complicate her nervy narrative
Tense, twisty, fraught with emotion and packed with secrets, The Couple at No. 9 is Claire’s best thriller yet
This well-paced thriller never lets up the pace, and delivers a twist that it’s unlikely you will have seen coming
Dense and deeply creepy, this is a top-class chiller
