Libby Jones, a twenty‑five‑year‑old recent graduate, unexpectedly inherits her late parents’ house in the fashionable Kensington area of London. What she thought would be a simple transition into adulthood turns into a chilling investigation when she learns that the family’s past is marred by violence. With the help of close friends and a determined curiosity, Libby delves into memories and hidden truths to piece together what happened to her parents, confronting the unsettling reality that the very home she now owns holds more than just sentimental value. Jane Jewell’s deft hand at domestic suspense unfolds in a quiet, atmospherically tense narrative that lingers long after the last page.
