Synopsis

When she was just fourteen, Jill’s family moved to Walney Island. Initially intoxicated by the freedom of the seaside setting—and fifteen-year-old Andrew Brownstone—she came to learn that her first impressions were very wrong. After making a shocking discovery in Seaview House, Jill fled the scene—a guilty secret she’s carried with her ever since. Now, thirty years later, when the decrepit Seaview House is being demolished, a body is found buried in the garden. But who is the deceased? Jill is soon drawn back into the past when police question her about the relationship she had with Andrew all those years ago. Yet as the pieces of the puzzle start falling into place, she discovers she’s not the only one hiding something…
