Description
In a quiet English village, the discovery of a child's body at an abandoned estate shatters the peace, igniting a desperate search for answers. This chilling mystery intertwines the present tragedy with a haunting echo from the past: the unsolved disappearance of a young girl from the same area six months prior. As the investigation deepens, it becomes a race against time to uncover the truth before another life is lost, exploring themes of innocence, loss, and the darkness that can lie beneath a tranquil surface. Ruth Rendell masterfully crafts a suspenseful narrative that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
