      About This Book

      The unsolved mystery of a murder lies at the heart of this page-turning story of a young couple who are struggling to find happiness and meaning in their lives together . . . perfect for fans of Claire Douglas!

      ‘A story about extraordinary events happening to ordinary people' Banbury Guardian
      ___________

      When Ben was seven, his mother was murdered in the woods while he waited for her in their car.

      The case made the front pages, but her killer was never found.

      Thirty years later, Ben has a safe, grown-up life: a job, a ramshackle cottage and, most importantly, a happy marriage to Rebecca.

      His mother has receded to the corners of his mind, lingering only in the nightmares that won't quite go away.

      Then Rebecca takes on a new job, painting a fairy-tale fresco for a wealthy businessman who starts asking questions about Ben's mother . . .

      Is it time for the truth to come out - and for Ben to face the questions he's never dared ask before?
