The gripping psychological suspense novel from the bestselling author of APPLE TREE YARD, also a hit BBC series starring Emily Watson 

The last thing anyone would expect in a small, rural village is murder - let alone the horrific double murder of a respectable middle-aged local couple. During one of the hottest summers England has ever seen, the two are brutally stabbed to death. Their teenage daughter goes missing and the close-knit village is suddenly under a harsh spotlight of suspicion. 

As Alison, a young local reporter, digs deeper into the double murder, the case begins to unsettle her in ways she can't explain. But it isn't long before it emerges that she has one or two dark secrets of her own - secrets in her past even she is not aware of…

Tense, atmospheric, and psychologically charged, HONEY-DEW is a crime thriller about a perfect community with a very imperfect truth.
