About this ebook
‘A dark, haunting tale with an emotional gut punch that stays with you long after the final page. Amanda Cassidy is an unflinching storyteller.’ Lisa Jewell, author of The Family Upstairs
When she re-lives this night, over and over, Nancy will wonder if she’d just gone upstairs a few minutes earlier, what might have been…A devastating fire.
A grieving mother.
A picture-perfect village full of dark secrets.
And now, a son who has seemingly come back from the dead.
A detective called back to her hometown, back to the memories she thought she’d left behind…
An electrifying novel from a compelling new voice in Irish crime fiction, perfect for fans of Liz Nugent and Claire Mackintosh.
