A seriously dark psychological thriller that challenges the reader in unexpected ways. Is the Crawford family just very unlucky or is there a seriously disturbed person within it? What version of the story is true?
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling author when an outstanding opportunity falls into her lap: finish a hugely successful series of books after the writer is seriously injured in a car accident. The money is more than she has ever made, and would solve her current financial problems that resulted from caring for her terminally ill mother.
When she arrives at the Crawford home to look through Verity's office for any notes or outlines for the future books, she is drawn into the tragic situation. How does a family lose 2 children in separate accidents, and then the mother nearly dies in a third one, all within a few months? What is going on, and has Lowen put herself in danger?
