What to expect
How well do you know the people closest to you?
It’s not just secrets buried in the garden next door…
Jane doesn’t know her new neighbours very well.
She thought they were nice. She thought they were happy.
She was wrong.
First there’s the explosive rows. Then she catches one of them digging a grave-shaped trench in the garden.
When the truth emerges, someone would kill to cover their tracks…
