Summary

A gripping, compelling psychological thriller about a cult, a fire, and the dark secrets that four young girls have carried with them but can no longer keep buried....

Blue grew up in the Black House.

In remotest Wales, Joseph Carillo recruited young, lonely women to join his community and adopt his erratic views. Blue's mother was one of them. But when the Black House goes up in flames, Blue escapes to freedom and never stops running.

Twenty years later, when Blue's old dormmate commits suicide, Blue receives a strange call. She has been awarded sole custody of Natasha's daughter. But things don't add up. The girls haven't spoken since the night of the fire.

As Blue begins to dig into Natasha's life, her suspicions take her all the way back to that fateful night.... But will the truth help Blue to face her past, or will it put everyone she holds close in danger?

The addictive, dark and redemptive psychological thriller you've been waiting for in 2021 - for fans of Lisa Jewell, Louise Jensen, Phoebe Morgan, CL Taylor, Cara Hunter and KL Slater.

Great story

I loved the the story. I couldn’t stop listening to it. I didn’t like the persons voice who read it but the whole story was page turning. I didn’t want it to finish. I love Niki Mackay’s books. I’ve read and listened to them all. She’s a brilliant writer with a great imagination.

Weirdly compelling

Totally compelling mystery that turns out pretty much as you expect but the journey was fabulous, except for the narrator's annoying accent, Blue is supposed to have lost her Welsh accent, so I found Ms Goodwin to be a strange choice of narrator, she's very Welsh but her accent was too mixed as though she were the one who'd spent years away from Wales but Welsh enough to distract. I think a full on Welsh accent or a London accent would have been much better. She is however, a good narrator and pleasant to listen to.
