'Laura Marshall's best yet' Chris Whitaker
'I was genuinely unable to put it down' Karen Hamilton
'Fascinating' Sunday Times

They thought the killer had no motive. But these murders are not what they seem . . .

On 15th June 1994, Travis Green - husband, father, upstanding citizen - walked through the streets of Hartstead and killed eleven of his neighbours. The last victim was little Cassie Colman's father.

As the twenty-fifth anniversary approaches, Cassie tries to forget the past - even as her mother struggles to remember it at all. Then, something hidden in her mother's belongings suggests the murders were not as random as everyone believes.

Cassie can't stop herself digging up the past. But someone will do anything to keep it buried . . .

Critic reviews

Chilling, moving, compulsively readable. The Anniversary is Laura Marshall's best yet
A knockout hook, full of twists and turns. Expertly crafted and it kept me guessing right until the very end. Highly recommended
This book! A poignant exploration of family dynamics and a white-knuckle ride. Full of truth, it feels very real. You'll not put it down
A storming return by one of my favourite thriller writers and could well be her best. Turning the whodunnit on its head to focus on the "why", Marshall crafts a chilling and emotionally complex read . . . Sensitive, intelligent and hugely entertaining
A twisting tale that stuns you, written with real heart. A wonderful read
Intriguing and compulsive . . . I raced to the end
Supremely gripping with an excellent twist
Everything I love in a thriller: a stand-out concept and beautifully drawn characters. Clever, emotionally astute - and totally gripping
Queen of the irresistible premise, Laura Marshall returns with a book to keep you guessing and pull at your heartstrings
A gripping, tense and addictive psychological thriller . . . I wasn't able to put it down
I love Laura Marshall's books and this is my favourite. The twist at the end is delicious!
Addictive, expertly plotted
A brilliant, twisty thriller you'll want to race through
Delivers suspense and tension at great pace . . . there is a deliciously shocking final twist. This is superior 'domestic noir'
The type of book that'll make the hairs on your arms stand up, as you delve further into the twists and turns
Utterly gripping
The twist is genuinely unexpected
A poignant and unsettling page-turner
A slick psychological thriller with a killer hook

She seems like such a moaner to begin with, but then the plot kicks in. The characters develop, and you’re hooked. Cried twice near the end!

Slow burner, but so worth it!

I found it a very enjoyable story which was very well narrated. Not all the characters were likeable which just added to the twists and turns

Loved this book

A good story with a few twists and turns but for me, the pace aas too slow. I listened to the end and didn't by any means hate the book but I'm more of a fast paced crime thriller reader so this is a little out of my comfort zone for me.

A Slow burner 🔥
