Twenty years ago, a young girl vanished from a quiet street in Northumberland. When her body was found in an attic close to her home, the whole neighbourhood was shocked.

A DEVASTATING SECRET

For her entire life, Dawn Shephard has never known her father. But when news breaks that a murderer is about to be released from prison, her mother has no choice but to reveal his identity.

Fascinating plot, full of surprises😲 What a riveting story that carries the question of what really happened to a murdered thirteen year-old and why right through to the climax. My sympathies pivoted from character to character as Dawn, daughter of a convicted killer who has consistently denied his guilt, finds her life totally upended upon the reveal of her dad's identity before his early release from prison. This is not along the lines of the author's Matilda Darker books but just as good!
