Synopsis

A dark, compelling Marnie Rome novel, rich with psychological insight, from the winner of the Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year. For readers of Clare Mackintosh and Alex Marwood.

'Intelligently and fluently written with a clever plot and an energetic pace, dealing with harrowing topics and shot through with humanity' Cath Staincliffe

The fragile young girl who causes the fatal car crash disappears from the scene. A runaway who doesn't want to be found, she only wants to return to the man who understands her and offers her warmth, comfort, a home. He gives her shelter. Just as he gives shelter to the other lost girls who live in his house.

D.I. Marnie Rome thinks that she knows families, their secrets and their fault lines. But as she begins investigating the girl's disappearance nothing can prepare her for what she's about to face.

Goodreads review by Janet on May 12, 2016

So, we come to book three of the DI Marnie Rome series and this one does not fail to entertain. From the blurb we know that there is a character called Harm and that children are going missing. I'm mindful of plot spoilers so won't delve too deeply there, but what follows is an engaging and excellent......more

Quotes

Brilliant. I put everything else aside when I have one of her books in the house

A tense, terrifying tale of obsession and possession . . . a writer at the top of her game Radio Times

One of Britain's best new crime writers Daily Mail

A truly chilling exploration of control, submission and the desire to step out of a normal life

Marnie goes from strength to strength... this one drips with the gritty, dirty, danger of the urban wastelands around the river

Highly compelling and atmospheric... the storyline and characters involved me completely, from the very first

Hilary's depiction of 13-year-old Laura Beswick, Loz, is heartbreaking and convincing. This pacy, easy-reading novel is lifted by its perceptive examination of the distress of girls who don't believe they fit their allotted space in the world and the agony of the parents who try to make them understand how deeply they are loved

Writes with an effortless ease and fervour that displays what an accomplished writer she is Crimespree magazine
