What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
You will inherit everything. The house. The money.
There's just one condition.
You have to catch a killer first . . .
When Sarah's Aunt Evelyn passes away, she discovers a hidden fortune has been left to her, including a foreboding mansion in a small Northumberland town.
But it comes with one condition.
For most of her life, Evelyn had been haunted by the loss of a friend who went missing in Cragsmoor - the very house Evelyn has left to Sarah.
Now, Evelyn's final wish is for Sarah to return to Cragsmoor and uncover the truth.
If she does, she will inherit everything.
But someone wishes for the secrets of Cragsmoor to remain hidden.
Someone who may have killed once before . . .

Critics Review
Atmospheric and ultra-creepy. An old dark house mystery with a distinctive modern twist.
An enthralling read from beginning to end. This had such a riveting setup, and it really delivered. Dark family secrets, priest holes, a missing girl and a race against time to solve an ancient mystery made this an absolute belter of a book. Bravo!
