If you are after a fantastic thriller, this is the one for you. It is a heart pounding and intensely creepy story. You never know what is going to happen in each chapter. I love Claire's writing and how on edge she makes the reader feel, she is a very good writer and I have loved all of her previous books. Some of the chapters leave you on a cliff hanger so you have to read to find out more. The story is all about the past and present. Saffy and her husband have moved into her grandmother's house, whilst having the garden sorted out, the workmen make a shocking discovery and no one's life will ever be the same. Who is in danger? and will Saffy be able to find out what really happened back then. This is such a great read and I cannot wait to read Claire's next book.

I was on the edge of my seat. Clare is getting clever and clever with her each book.
Pregnant Saffron Cutler moves into 9 Skelton Place with boyfriend Tom and sets about renovations the last thing she expects is builders uncovering a body - two bodies, in fact.
Forensics indicate the bodies have been buried at least thirty years. Nothing Saffy need worry herself over. Until the police launch a murder investigation and ask to speak to the cottage's former owner - her grandmother, Rose.
Rose is in a care home and Alzheimer's means her memory is increasingly confused. She can't help the police but it is clear she remembers something.
As Rose's fragmented memories resurface, and the police dig ever deeper, Saffy fears she and the cottage are being watched.
What happened thirty years ago? Why did no one miss the victims? What part did her grandmother play? And is Saffy now in danger?
I loved the main characters. Clare's narrating style is very original. I was on the edge of my seat.
Highly recommended.
Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin UK Michael Joseph for giving me an advanced copy.

Saffy and Tom are lucky, they ve been given a house in a tiny village by Saffys mum. It was something many years before her Grandmother Rose had put in her mums name and they ve only just found out. The house is a little dated, but Tom and Saffy are going to modernise it, which is when the workmen discover the bodies in the back garden.
Their world is immediatly thrown into chaos being asked to move out while the police do their work and then finding out that the bodies date back to when Rose lived in the house. </p>

We learn about Roses past with Daphne the lodger, Lolly and Saffy. Theres a second storyline running with a second couple who are trying to concieve which feels a little out of place until the story comes together.

I can honestly say I think I was just ahead of the characters in working out the twists. I like when that happens because it suggests that the storyline is logical and 'realistic' in a fictional sense. There are alot of little moments that make up this book. Its got some dark parts looking at murder, spousal abuse, and general abuse of power but with some of the book being set in the 70/80s it makes me feel glad that times have changed. I devoured this book, theres no other way to describe it. I was so glad the hubby was out so I had no destractions. This definetly needs to be on everyones list to read this summer.
