More about
the book
Megan Melvick has spent years avoiding her inheritance, the dark and disquieting family estate Benbrae, now home only to her distant, aristocratic father, and her sister Melissa, dying quietly in an upstairs bedroom. Trapped behind her unreliable hearing aids and vulnerable to what others want her to see, Megan is unable to find the answers she wants: why is there a new woman on her father’s arm? And why has their absent mother not returned to say a final goodbye to Melissa?
Benbrae has always been a place of loss and misfortune for Megan, but as the Melvick family diminishes still further, she must ask one final question. If there is a curse on the house, will she be its next victim?
A skilfully written thriller with a palpable sense of dread and disaster that will grab readers from the first page through to the shocking conclusion
Praise for Caro Ramsay:
Brilliant . . . twisting the tension tauter with each page
The unravelling relationship between our heroes, Costello and Anderson, really makes this spark. A great pick-me-up read
[Ramsay] is a titan of Tartan Noir
