She is the perfect child. Only you know there is something very wrong.

Beth is excited to move to a remote, tiny hamlet in Suffolk with her new husband and stepdaughter, Dolly – but she quickly finds that all is not what it seems. The hamlet has a dark history and there is something odd about its tiny population.

Beth tries hard to build a bond with her new stepdaughter but although Dolly is lovely to everyone else, when the two of them are alone, she is a very different child.

Beth soon realises that Dolly wants her gone. For good. How far will she go to get what she wants?

A twisty, nerve-shredding thriller perfect for fans of Gillian McAllister, BA Paris and Harriet Tyce.
