Description
The BRAND NEW pulse-pounding thriller from Diane Saxon, BESTSELLING author of The Quiet Wife ???? Just what is in the attic? ??I've just made the biggest mistake of my life.
As the last of my children leave home, I've persuaded my husband we should move house.
Clearing out thirty-odd years of rubbish is overwhelming, but nothing prepares me for what I find in my attic.
It's a hint at a hidden horror. A box of secrets I only glimpsed, before I was disturbed.
And now it's gone.
Someone in my home has removed it. Which means someone I love thinks I know their secret. A secret so dark, I refuse to contemplate it. Until I am forced to.
I need to find that box and take a better look.
I need to protect myself because if I'm right...
My life is in peril.
Praise for Diane Saxon:

????? 'Packed full of secrets and lies... with an unsettling atmosphere, Saxon succeeds in putting the 'creep' in creepy.' Valerie Keogh
????? 'A complex, dark and disturbing thriller, full of intrigue, toxic relationships and jaw dropping twists.' Alex Stone
????? 'I highly recommend this book, you won't want to put it down.' Reader Review
