Secrets can't stay buried forever, and when they're exposed, they can have tragic consequences.
Hannah Walker is living in limbo. Six years ago, her daughter was abducted, and her world fell apart. She's tried to pick up the pieces of her life, tried to move on, but not a day goes by when she doesn't relive the guilt and horror of that day. And then one afternoon she gets a phone call that tips her fragile existence on its head. A discovery in a local garden could be related to Sophie's disappearance.
Suddenly the hope that has never quite been extinguished is reignited. She's never given up believing that Sophie is alive but is she being ridiculously naïve? She doesn't know. All she does know is that this time around she won't rest until she finds out what happened to her daughter.
When DS Harry Briscombe is called out to investigate a macabre discovery in a local garden, a cold case suddenly gets red hot. But nothing is as it seems. As he is drawn deeper into the web of deceit, and pressure to solve the case builds, it soon becomes obvious that someone is determined to keep secrets buried - no matter what the cost.
Utterly believable characters, and an enthralling story with a dark secret buried at its core.
The gripping introduction to the Harry Briscombe crime thriller mystery series. Perfect for fans of the Broadchurch TV series, Ann Cleeves, LJ Ross, Rachel Abbott and Susan Hill.
Amazon Reviewers: "I was gripped from the very first paragraph and read the book in one sitting. This has to be the best book of its kind that I have read for a long time."
"This story is nothing short of brilliant. The characters are very real, a great plot with a few surprises along the way. I just could not put it down until I knew the outcome."
Author Biography
Carolyn Mahony writes crime and mystery books you can't put down. Her aim is to draw you into a world that is utterly believable, with gripping plots and characters that hold you absorbed from start to finish. Her first book, Cry From The Grave, was originally intended as a standalone story, but she had so many readers contact her after they'd read it, asking if it was going to be a series with Harry Briscombe as the detective, that she thought what a great idea! Consequently, with the books that follow, although she still invests heavily in the dramas unfolding with the characters (think Broadchurch TV series), Harry has happily taken over the lead role and his much-loved character has some intriguing developments as the series unfolds. Carolyn lives near Cambridge with her husband and loves to spend her time concocting novel methods and motives for undesirable people to commit foul deeds. If you'd like to know more about her books and receive extra bonus content, do sign up to her infrequent newsletter via her website, where you can download a copy of her introductory novella, Behind Closed Doors, for FREE, as well as hear about any new releases and special offers she may be running.
