What to expect
'An atmospheric thriller with a knockout ending! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️' Diana Wilkinson
No place left to run...
After the shocking events of last Christmas, Jess Croft is determined this festive season will be the one to remember, for all the right reasons.
But when a stranger turns up on her doorstep claiming to be her estranged father, Jess is shocked. Moreso, when the man claims that the little girl with him is none other than Jess’s sister - a child she knew nothing about.
Jess isn’t sure she wants these strangers to stay, but she can’t turn them away, especially when she learns that their lives are in danger.
Now Wrea Head hall isn’t just Jess’s home, it’s the only safe place for her new family to hide.
A chilling psychological thriller from bestselling author L.H. Stacey, perfect for fans of Teresa Driscoll, Sue Watson, Jackie Kabler and Kendra Elliot.
