Summary

THEY TOLD THE POLICE IT WAS THE PERFECT SUMMER. THEY WERE LYING.

August, 1997. Matilda is killed in a tragic accident on the Dorset rocks, leaving her best friend Sophie alone, wracked with guilt.

Decades later, Sophie is back for the first time since that terrible summer, to sell her family's old beach hut and bury the memories forever.

But on clearing out the hut, she finds evidence that Matilda's death was no accident. What really happened the night she died?

As Sophie edges closer to the truth, the past starts to close in on the present.

Because the close-knit community is still home to a killer, and they want Sophie gone.

A vivid masterpiece, beautifully narrated

Gobbled it up in one sitting. Intriguing, beguiling, enthralling. A cracking debut; I sincerely hope there is more to come from this author.

Whirlwind ride

Brilliant characters, gripping story and occasional 90s nostalgia. I could not put it down - brilliant for the commute or holidays!

coming of age

a death that prompter exploring a coming of age story and a 30 something discovering herself. Well read and a story that wad claustrophic in setting but surprisingly pacey in the narrative. excellent as a debut novel and a satisfying ironic end - may the reader/listener understand!
