- Book Synopsis
- 'A brilliant, creepy, wonderfully written mystery that will keep you turning the pages until you have to get up and put all the lights on because you're scared out of your wits' STEVE CAVANAGH 'An atmospheric, creepy, tense thriller - intriguing, haunting, and kept me guessing right till the end. I loved it' ANDREA MARA 'Scary and thrilling in equal nature, I was obsessed with finishing this book. A must read' JO SPAIN ------------ Since losing her parents in a car crash as a teen, Allie has struggled to cope. Meeting Rory finally made things easier. She's come to rely on him for almost everything, so when he disappears while filming a documentary in the West of Ireland, she fears she'll come undone. Again. Tap... When a couple arrive at the Dublin apartment she and Rory share, claiming to be the new tenants, Allie is distraught. Why did Rory let out their home without telling her? And - where is he? Tap-tap... She seeks refuge at the run-down and reputedly haunted Raven Cottage in the Slieve Bloom mountains, where she and Rory were planning to move one day. Allie slowly starts to build a life for herself - and begins to believe that she might manage to make it alone. Tap-tap-tap... But then Rory's car is found submerged at the end of a pier, nowhere near where he was supposed to be - and the body in the driver's seat isn't his. Alison starts to revisit her memories of their time together, and begins to question if she can trust them... A gripping, haunting thriller that will give you chills - perfect for fans of Tana French, Erin Kelly and Jane Casey. ------------ 'A rural community full of secrets, a satisfyingly baffling mystery and a plot that races along to a perfect conclusion' JANE CASEY 'Hauntingly atmospheric . . . will keep you up all night!' SAM BLAKE 'Devoured this in two sittings. A hugely atmospheric mystery with a creeping sense of dread' BRIAN MCGILLOWAY 'Had me gripped from the start' AMANDA JENNINGS
