In this gripping thriller from the bestselling authors of Spare Room and Say Her Name, one woman's mysterious death has led to a lifetime of pain. Can her daughter find out why?
"A compelling psychological mystery that will keep you guessing." -Woman's Weekly
Lawyer Gabby Lewis always knew she would die young. Since her mother's death twenty-five years ago, she's dreaded her upcoming fortieth birthday, the same age her mother died.
When she discovers a connection between her mother and a suspicious mansion house, Ocean Haven, Gabby begins to suspect that her mother's death wasn't an accident, it was murder.
Returning home Gabby sets out to uncover the truth despite her family, friends and the local police all telling her to stop. When she starts to develop the same mysterious symptoms that led to her mother's death, she is certain she's on the right track. But will she be able to catch the killer in time? Or will she become another victim of a murderer desperate to keep the past buried?
