Summary

A remote village.A deadly secret.An outsider who knows the truth…

‘ATMOSPHERIC AND COMPELLING’ CATHERINE COOPER

Maggie Mackay has been haunted her entire life. No matter what she does, she can’t shake the sense that something is wrong with her. And maybe something is…

When she was five years old, without proof, Maggie announced that someone in the remote village of Blairmore in the Outer Hebrides had murdered a local man, sparking a media storm.

Now, Maggie is determined to discover what really happened and what the villagers are hiding. But everyone has secrets, and some are deadly. As she gets closer to the horrifying truth, Maggie’s own life is in danger…

From the critically-acclaimed author of Mirrorland comes a darkly disturbing new thriller that will chill you to the bone.

Fantastic

Unusual story , atmospheric and claustrophobic but an excellent story.
At times I really felt I was there , with sea , the weather and people .
