DESCRIPTION
‘An intensely readable and gripping pageturner’ - Alex Michaelides, author of THE SILENT PATIENT
Leaving isn't safe. But staying would be deadly.
Gillian Flynn meets Shirley Jackson, A haunting page-turner about the unspeakable secret that binds two families together, and the truth that may destroy them all
'An addictive read. Patricia Highsmith meets Shirley Jackson' - GILLIAN MCALLISTER
'A deliciously creepy tale of three sisters forced to take refuge in an abandoned mansion. Seddon deftly weaves between past horrors at the manor and the present-day struggle of the sisters to survive the night. What sets this thriller apart is the stellar writing and bone-chilling atmosphere Seddon creates.' - SARAH PEKKANEN, bestselling author of Gone Tonight
Three sisters find themselves lost in a storm at night, and seek safety at Moirthwaite Manor, where their mother once worked. They are shocked to find the isolated mansion that loomed so large through their troubled childhoods has long been abandoned. Drawing straws to decide who should get help, one sister heads back into the darkness. With the siblings separated, the deadly secrets hidden in the house finally make themselves known and we learn the unspeakable secret that binds the family together.
