I gobbled it up in two sittings, quickly turning pages to see what would happen next. The windswept, desolate setting, cold, gloomy manor house and dark characters created the perfect stormy day read And did I mention the twists Oh my goodness! NetGalley reviewer,
When a young widows little girl vanishes, could a dark family secret hold the answer
On the death of her aunt Gwyn, Lowri returns once more to Gwyns home on the remote island of Anglesey, Wales, with her young daughter Ruby in tow. Lowri hadnt seen her aunt in years, but this beautiful island offers a fresh start.
Yet right away, strange things begin to happen. Ruby insists an old woman is visiting her when no one else is watching, and a tattered old doll keeps being left for Ruby to find.
Then Ruby goes missing. Desperately seeking answers no one seems to have, Lowri looks to her dark family past for clues. But the secrets she uncovers suggest that Ruby is not the only one in danger, and time is running out for both of them
A terrifically dark and twisty tale that asks: can you ever really trust those closest to you Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Cass Green and C.J. Tudor.

Wonderful and captivatingI loved how the story unfolded with so many twists and turns and family secrets you could never imagine. Heart wrenching and heart breaking at times. It was utterly compelling and a real page turner. NetGalley reviewer,
I loved this! Super suspenseful had me turning pages late through the night because I could not put it down until I had worked out all the twists Five stars. NetGalley reviewer,
Such a tense and atmospheric read This was gripping right from the first page and I could not put it down, twisty and unpredictable. NetGalley reviewer,
Gave me goosebumps the entire time the twists in the novel made it one of my fastest reads of the year. The family dynamics were so complicated, I had no idea who to trust.

Anne Wyn Clark lives in the Midlands with her husband and son, plus a rather temperamental cat, a rabbit and a chinchilla. She has three (now grown-up) children and five grandchildren. She is particularly partial to Italian food, decent red wine (or any coloured wine come to that...) and cake - and has been known to over-indulge in each on occasions. She has a penchant for visiting old graveyards and speculating on the demise of those entombed beneath.
