About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The new heart-pounding novel from Sunday Times best-selling author Claire Douglas.

It was the house of their dreams. Until the bodies were found....

Bodies found under patio.

When pregnant Saffron Cutler moves into 9 Skelton Place with boyfriend Tom and sets about renovations, the last thing she expects is builders uncovering a body - two bodies, in fact.

Police investigate.

Forensics indicate the bodies have been buried at least 30 years. Nothing Saffy need worry herself over. Until the police launch a murder investigation and ask to speak to the cottage's former owner - her grandmother, Rose.

Owner questioned.

Rose is in a care home, and Alzheimer's means her memory is increasingly confused. She can't help the police, but it is clear she remembers something.

A killer at large?

As Rose's fragmented memories resurface and the police dig ever deeper, Saffy fears she and the cottage are being watched.

What happened 30 years ago?

Why did no one miss the victims?

What part did her grandmother play?

And is Saffy now in danger?

I love a book where I can’t guess the twist until when it’s about to happen.

The guessing to the end.

Well written and well narrated. Great story line. The setting in that particular village also was perfect.

Good plot and narration

Multiple POV and timelines with a good plot. I enjoyed this for the most part but guessed the big twist early on.

The couple at No. 9

Loved this book.
Such an interesting story with lots of twists and turns, the only negative in when the characters every now and then speak as the third person. Other than that, it is a must listen

Very enjoyable!

Terrific narration, unfolding plot really keeps you listening. Makes you want to visit the Cotswolds’ quaint (quirky?!) villages. Def recommended, a satisfying “page” turner.
