Like every woman in her family who has resided at Hanger Hill, she has been subject to rumours all her life. Some of the rumours are vapid and vaporous, others go into specifics that seem impossible. The weather, the scent in the air, the exact words spoken by people who thought they were alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the morning of Betty's 18th birthday, she is approached by a detective at her school gate. She wants to know whether, now of age and free of her mother's guardianship, Betty will help her solve the cold case of what happened at her house the year she was born.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetty can picture scraps of it. The flick of a cat's tale. The smell of rot. A neighbour peering at her from a house that no longer exists. Screams coming from below the kitchen floor. Pages of old diaries curling amongst flames. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe only person who knows the truth, whole and complete, is her mother. And Betty decides it's time that she knows her family's story too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57394585141622,"sku":"9781399833653","price":17.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781399833653-the-house-at-hanger-hill","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
