The first in a brand new crime thriller series from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author, that will transport you to the rugged Cornish coast, and keep you on the edge of your seat. The perfect mystery thriller for Christmas 2026.

An unexplained death

In stormy West Cornwall, a woman lies dead at the bottom of a waterfall.

A house full of secrets

A year later, her children are possessed by strange and disturbing visions.

A family with everything to hide

Forensic psychologist Karenza Bray agrees to help. Someone knows the truth about what happened to Natalie Tyack. But the more Karenza investigates, the deeper she steps into a mystery, or a haunting. Or worse.

Will any of them escape sane, and unscathed?

One of my favourite authors! Gripping storyline, I loved it. So pleased that this is the start of a new series! Can’t wait to listen to Karenza’s next case.

Wonderfully performed - really hoping the next book will be narrated by Catrin.

Fantastic!
