- Synopsis
- SECRETS, LIES, AND MURDER ROCK AN ENGLISH VILLAGE IN DEBBIE HOWELLS&’ RIVETING NEW PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER &“I live in a village of stone walls and tall trees, a place of cold hearts and secrets . . .&” When Elise Buckley moved with her family to Abingworth, it was supposed to be a new start. She hoped the little English village, with its scattering of houses, pub, and village church, wouldn&’t offer enough opportunity for her doctor husband, Andrew, to continue having affairs. Apparently, she was wrong. Now Elise&’s only goal is to maintain the façade of a happy homelife for their teenage daughter, Niamh. When the body of Niamh&’s best friend, Hollie, is found, the entire village is rocked. Elise, though generally distrustful since Andrew&’s infidelity, believed that Hollie was loved by her father and stepmother. Yet there was something unsettling beneath the girl&’s smile. As the police investigation stalls amid disjointed evidence, it&’s Niamh who unknowingly holds the key . . . Flitting between the villagers&’ lives, silent and unseen, Niamh is learning about the relationships and secrets that surround her—including those close to home. And as her daughter edges closer to a killer, Elise realizes that the truth may eclipse even her worst suspicions . . .
