Description
They were perfect neighbours.
Now they are prime suspects.
Security, a sparkling sea view and the best kind of neighbours - The Starlings gated community has it all.
Here, doors are left open, children run free, and at the heart of it all is the entrepreneurial Gold Family, who first dreamed up this aspirational vision of 'Dorset's Safest Community'. To the outside world the popular family appears glitteringly blessed... until an idyllic party takes a dark turn and one of their number is found slumped at the foot of the clocktower. Who knows what really happened? And what answers are harboured within the old building, the former Highcap Mother and Baby Home?'
A mesmerising, character-rich thriller with a long-buried secret vibrating at its core: this is Isabel Ashdown at her heart-stopping best, for readers who enjoyed Big Little Lies, Dr Foster or Little Fires Everywhere.

Sarah C, Reviewer
I have been a fan of Isabel Ashdown books for some time now and looked forward to reading this, her latest book. I wasn’t disappointed! Although the book starts quite slowly, it is purposefully done, giving the reader a chance to get to know the wide range of quirky characters, all with backstories and connections to be revealed.
The setting of The Starlings is perfect to add suspense and mystery, with its history, being a workhouse and then more lately Highcap Mother and Baby home. Contrast this with the luxury of the site conversion and you are set for a cracker of a read as secrets begin to surface.
The first chapter of the book is intriguing and I have to admit to rereading it once I’d finished the book, to see if I had missed anything. The descriptive writing is brilliant and evokes pictures in the reader’s mind of both the setting and the characters, which is one of the reasons I love this author’s books.
It is difficult to say more without giving any plot spoilers, but there is plenty to keep your mind engaged throughout. A great read.
