THE ATMOSPHERIC, SUSPENSEFUL THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE LIARS, PERFECT FOR FANS OF LUCY FOLEY'S THE MIDNIGHT FEAST

It’s been years since Rain last went home.

To many, growing up onthe Tanglewood estate, nestled in a beautiful corner of the Cotswolds countryside, seemed like a dream.

But for Rain, memories of her childhood there are forever tainted by what she saw that summer. The wild party. The body…

Now estranged from her mother, and all ties to Tanglewood, Rain thought she’d moved on.

Yet when another dead body is found in the Tanglewood grounds, she knows she must face up to her past.

Rain has long held suspicions that what happened that summer wasn’t an accident. It was murder.

And now's her chance to prove it.

‘Sinister and sun-soaked. This is a perfectly crafted mystery that I flew through in days’ Caz Frear

The Last Time I Saw Her Alive is, simply, sensational; both fiendishly compelling and jaw-droppingly beautiful. Kate Riordan has a unique and wonderful talent for complex characters, almost unbearable suspense and wildly evocative, haunting settings. I was blown away by this novel
