What to expect
'Taut and absorbing . . . Another triumph from JP Delaney' B A PARIS
'A tense psychological thriller in the spirit of Daphne du Maurier . . . I loved it' ELLY GRIFFITHS
'JP Delaney has a gift for the unputdownable story' MICK HERRON
New beginnings can be deadly . . .
Kate and Matt Crowther are finally moving out of London, in search of a better life for their young family. Trade Cottage seems to be the house of their dreams - and they immediately hit it off with the sellers, Rosemary and Paul Finch, who brought up their own family there.
When Kate and Matt move in, they're pleased to discover the Finches still very much in evidence: offering advice, introducing them to the local community, and becoming honorary grandparents to Will, 11, and Tilly, 9. But when the Finches take exception to Kate and Matt's renovations, relations with the neighbours sour, and Kate and Matt find themselves subjected to a vicious campaign of hate.
But Kate isn't giving up her dream home without a fight. And it turns out Trade Cottage has secrets of its own to reveal - secrets that may endanger the very family Kate has moved there to protect . . .
