When Laura Eastwood receives a call from Father Mallory, a priest in the remote Suffolk seaside town of Blythwold, the news he delivers is of little interest to her. And why should it be? Her birth father never wanted to be a part of her life, so why should her feelings towards him suddenly shift, just because he’s died?


Nevertheless, the passing of Billy McKenna changes everything for Laura, drawing her into the sinister world of the sleepy Suffolk town; with its assortment of outlandish characters, the most menacing being her grandmother, Mary.


As Laura delves deeper into the past, almost everything in her life comes into question; her parent’s honesty, her best friend’s loyalty, the support of her boss and mentor, even the motives of her apparently loving boyfriend, Kieran, may not be as they once appeared. 


Will Laura get answers to the mysteries she finds lurking in the seemingly dull, East Anglian town?

And who can Laura truly trust?     

About Minnie Lewis


Originally from North London, Minnie Lewis now spends most of her time in rural East Anglia, surrounded by nature. With her children having all fledged, Minnie at last feels able to focus her mind on her main passions - gardening, sewing and, with the support of chocolate and the odd glass of rosé, writing novels. Somewhere too in her life's equation are her husband, a dab hand in the kitchen, and a dachshund called Archie, who loves well-cooked sausages.
