An inherited cottage. A body buried in the garden. And a secret spanning three generations.
When Saffy's beloved grandmother, Rose, goes into a care home, Saffy learns that she has inherited her Cotswolds cottage.
But as work begins on much-needed renovations, the body of a young woman is uncovered in the garden.
Who is she? During Rose's more lucid moments, she reveals snippets of information that Saffy pieces together.
And then another body is discovered.
As she delves into Rose's past, Saffy uncovers dark secrets, calling into question everything she thought she knew about her family.
