The Couple at No 9

About the book

The critically acclaimed writer behind Do Not Disturb and Just Like the Other Girls unveils a gripping psychological thriller about a couple who come into possession of what appears to be their ideal home, only to uncover a chilling secret that puts them in grave danger.

The Tragedy . . .

When expectant mother Saffron Cutler moves into 9 Skelton Place with her partner Tom and begins renovations, she never could have imagined that construction workers would stumble upon human remains buried on the property - two bodies, to be exact.

The Investigation . . .

Forensic analysis suggests that the bodies have been interred for over three decades. Saffy initially believes she has nothing to fear - until the authorities launch a homicide investigation and request to interview the former owner of the cottage: her grandmother, Rose.

The Eyewitness . . .

Rose resides in a nursing facility and her Alzheimer's has caused her memories to become muddled. While she is unable to provide assistance to the police, it becomes apparent that she holds vital information.

The Culprit . . .

As Rose's fragmented recollections come to light and the investigation delves deeper, Saffy becomes paranoid that she and the cottage are under surveillance.

The Revelation . . .

What occurred three decades ago? Why did no one notice the missing individuals? What role did her grandmother play? And is Saffy now at risk?
