Synopsis
Like most families they had their secrets. And they hid them under a genteelly respectable veneer. No onlooker would guess that prim Vera Hillyard and her beautiful, adored younger sister, Eden, were locked in a dark and bitter combat over one of those secrets. England in the fifties was not kind to women who erred, so they had to use every means necessary to keep the truth hidden behind closed doors, even murder. 'A rich, complex and beautifully crafted novel' - P. D. James.
to be released soon

I picked this book up at the George Inn, Abbots Leigh Bookcrosing meet. It was on my wishlist so I was really pleased to find it.
I've given this book 10 out of 10, it had everything I want in a story, dark secrets, fantastic characterization, Rendell is a master of suspense.
This book is going into my NSSS partner's parcel.
